Public bug reported:

If improper data is passed to these fields, or they are left blank while
set to NOT NULL, MySQL will force their fields all to zero.  The type
handling code for 'fetchone' is not set up for this possibility, and the
datetime module cannot handle such nonsensical dates, so the fetch
fails.  The old behavior for the MySQLdb module was to return None.
Attached patch emulates that behavior.
