When passing datetime.datetime objects to service.xmlrpc in web2py xmlrpc DateTime objects are not converted python datetime.datime,
even when explicitly setting up a connection with use_datetime = True.
s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("
http://localhost:8000/masterdb/device_history/call/xmlrpc", use_datetime=True)
s.foo({mytime:datetime.datetime.now()})
The controller receives this as xmlrpclib DateTime object, which is completely incompatible with DAL db interface and causes db errors.
I'm wondering if this is a bug with xmlrpclib in python 2.7 or is there something in web2py that could be improved?
