Summary: makepy can generate invalid syntax

Initial Comment:
From this question on StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11630973/makepy-error-xceedzip-dll

If a module contains constants whose repr() can't be used as a constructor,
it will get written to the generated file anyway, causing a SyntaxError when
it's imported.
In this case it was a time, generating the invalid code
xcdMaximumDate                =<PyTime:12/31/9999 12:00:00 AM> # from enum XceedConstants
