I'am just tryign to print the date with proper greek letters as it uses to =
work with Python v2.6

date gets calculated here:

date =3D ( datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(hours=3D2) ).strftime( '%y-%m-%d %=
H:%M:%S' )

I'am not sure but i believe that the decode must be taken out in python 3.x=
 because objexts returned in unicoide now, but i'am not sure.
