Well, its not really a bug. More like a limitation because we are mixing C++ and python through a D-Bus interface and there is no straigt forward conversion between a QDateTime, through an integer and then to a python datetime. I'm exploring into solution for this though, maybe we can prefix it somehow internally to make python-autopilot recognize it as a datetime and automaticaly convert it.

Anyways, to still write some tests in the meantime you can use things like this:

QtObject {
  id: intern
  property monthStart: monthView.monthStart.valueOf()
}

That would give you a monthStart property containing an integer (unix timestamp) which you can convert back to a datetime object in python.
