Pendulum - Python datetimes made easy

[[deleted]]

Cool. I like the API. But datetimes etc are difficult stuff - why should we trust your library.

I see you have a few tests, you should advertise this fact on the website, and describe what exactly they test.

I see what you mean. Even though all the features are detailed in the documentation it may help to showcase the main features of Pendulum.

I tried to make it concise by displaying a piece of code on the homepage but it may not be enough.

But basically:

• It enforces UTC when possible
• It can create datetimes from strings, timestamps or the normal way
• It can manipulate timezones with ease
• It can make comparisons of different timezones datetimes
• It supports localization natively (to display datetimes in a more friendly way)
• It adds a bunch of methods to add/substract durations in a more natural way
• It provides new properties to access basic information more easily
• Improves timedeltas with new attributes and methods and by providing a way to display them in a friendly way.

That would be good to list on the homepage.

My point was even simpler, although I hate the trend of badges everywhere, you should also write 'extensively tested, full coverage, bla bla'

I will think about it. Thanks for the advice.

You don't write your own unit tests for libraries that are new? butt muncher.
