title: Missing properties in python's datetime module
body: <p>I came across datetime module in python, as this is first time i need it in my scripts.</p>
  
  <p>But I really have a problem with it, in example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import datetime
  
  date_now = datetime.date.today()
  
  print date_now
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As an answer i get:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Traceback (most recent call last):</p>
    
    <p>File "datetime.py", line 3, in </p>
  
  <pre><code>import datetime
  </code></pre>
    
    <p>File "/root/Desktop/python_work/datetime.py", line 5, in </p>
  
  <pre><code>today = datetime.date.today()
  </code></pre>
    
    <p>AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'date'</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Then i checked my datetime module to list properties:</p>
  
  <p>import datetime</p>
  
  <pre><code>for p in dir(datetime):
  
      print p
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As a result i got only:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; __builtins__
  &gt; 
  &gt; __doc__
  &gt; 
  &gt; __file__
  &gt; 
  &gt; __name__
  &gt; 
  &gt; __package__
  &gt; 
  &gt; datetime
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And yeah, true, 'module' object has no attribute 'date', it really do not have it.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any idea, what should be added to python install or how to fix it?</p>
