You've run into the terrible factoring of the DateTime system.  All three
of the modules you named already suffer from it, but subclassing DateTime
would make things worse.  For subclassing to be the right answer,
the objects of your classes would have to be everything that DateTime
objects are, plus something that you're adding.  But one of the things
that DateTime objects are is Gregorian, which your objects are not.
