I've been running into some Recursion Errors while testing the get\_selected\_month and get\_selected\_year functions in DateTime.py, since they call themselves.  
I noticed the get\_selected\_days function calls self.\_picker, and replacing 'self.get...' with 'self.\_picker.get...' for the others looks like it fixes the issue.

You're absolutely right. I'll work on repairing that in the morning. A fix is unlikely to be ready in time to make the 8.1.38 branch we will be making soon, but I'll try.

**Update** : Repair has been provided for internal review. Hopefully it can be picked up first thing in the morning in order to make the branch.
