Sorry, my question was that if DateTime's were persistent, would the 
following code result in a complete pickle for 'a' being written on the 
second transaction commit?

a.someTime = DateTime()
get_transaction().commit()
...wait/do stuff...
a.someTime = DateTime()
...have we just committed a pickle containing all of 'a'?...

Does mixing persistence into DateTime make a difference here?

cheers,

Chris
