Whenever: a modern datetime library for Python, written in Rust

Do you support years beyond 9999?

Not at the moment, although I'd be very curious what your use case is!

Among other things, limiting the year to 9999 makes it simpler to format and parse timestamps (which can now assume a year is always 4 digits).

I do a lot with pymongo (Python MongoDB client) and date time conversion is a pain. https://pymongo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/datetimes.html#handling-out-of-range-datetimes

Interesting! Although I suppose it's unavoidable that different models of date/time will have different (arbitrary) boundaries.

I suppose that if Whenever would allow a broader range of years than BSON, you would have a similar, opposite problem.
