I may have made a mistake here; I had to process a lot of new information 
this weekend. The impression I got was that datetime.pyd was hanging from 
an earlier process, not from the uninstall.

Is this the standard model for thesis writing? If it is, I am jealous. In 
my case, I spent three years building an experiment which now requires 3 
week spurts of around the clock work, with a lot of maintenance and writing 
of papers in between. I really prefer programming to playing video games. 
With programming you get to define your own puzzles and you have something 
useful when your done.

Anyway, I'll start looking at the source code, maybe there is something I 
can get started on.
