unsupported operand for `datetime.datetime`

we really need to compare between datetimes and jdatetimes, what can we do?

[slashmili]

It's not supported in python standard datetime module so it's better not to be implemented here!

But you can always do this:

>>> datetime.datetime.now().date() == datetime.date.today()
True

I think there is a misunderstanding:

I mean this:

>>> dt = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> jdt = jdatetime.datetime.now()
>>> dt > jdt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "jdatetime/__init__.py", line 837, in __lt__
    raise TypeError("unsupported operand type for <: '%s'"%(type(other_datetime)))

I think all operands are implemented in such a way that they raise this exception.

What do say about this :

>>> dt = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> jdt = jdatetime.datetime.now()
>>> dt > jdt.togregorian()
False

I know the thing that you want is just a few lines change but it ruins the integrity of this lib with python datetime module. Also consider if someone wants to use it this way :

jdatetime.datetime.now() > datetime.datetime.now()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.macosx-10.8-intel/egg/jdatetime/__init__.py", line 784, in __gt__
TypeError: unsupported operand type for >: '<type 'datetime.datetime'>'

Then there would be no way to change the python's datetime.
