Comment(by bsouthey):

 I did a patch to skip this test. But that is not a complete solution
 because ctypes needs to be installed for Python2.4 from:
 [http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/
 http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/].

 After installation of ctypes, the tests for NumPy version 2.0.0.dev8715
 pass. Thus, the release and installation notes will need reference to this
 dependency if users want to use datetime under Python2.4.
