After installing postgresql, I tried to use the python interface pgdb.  That
module requires the DateTime module, which was not installed.

does CPAN work for fetching the library?

Comment 2 Jeanie Komarek 2002-11-15 10:06:59 UTC

As far as I know, CPAN only applies to perl.  This
bug is about the python third-party DateTime module that the python pgdb
module requires.

The pgdb module was installed with PostgreSQL but the DateTime module was not. 
Furthermore, this module does not appear to be part of any of the packages
available using the gentoo 'emerge' package installer.  

To fix the problem, I downloaded the module directly, and added it to
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages along with a .pth file.

egenix-mx-base is the package you want... I've added the dep to the ebuilds.
