I have worked around the problem by uninstalling MySQL-python 1.2 and
installed the older MySQL-python 0.9.2.  Everything seems to work OK
with the older module.

I think the problem is incompatible defauts between MiddleKit and
MySQL-python 1.2.  Given the presence of both mx and Python 2.3+,
MySQL-python 1.2 is choosing to use the Python datetime module and
MiddleKit is using the mx DateTime.

I had regened the MK source code and I have attached the module.  The
relevant part is the setUpdateTime method at line 936 and the failure
is the type check at line 941.
