title: Convert datetime in Python list to year only
body: <p>So I'm using pyodbc to take a Date Time field from MS Access add to a Python list.  When I do this, it pyodbc instantly converts the data to this format <code>datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 1,0,0)</code>.   I'm only interested in obtaining the year <code>2012</code> in this case.  How can I parse the year out of my List when it uses this format?  Maybe pyodbc has some syntax I could use before it evens gets into the List?  </p>
