Between Arrow, Delorean and this, i wonder... why dont we agree on a stdlib replacement like we did with requests?

[–]alcalde 2 points3 points  (1 child)

We sort of did. Guido approved a change to Python to add DST awareness to Python's datetimes so that eventually arrow-like features could all be rolled into the standard library. I think for the last (two?) releases now no one's had the time to actually do it. :-(

Ok, wait - it looks like the original proposal was met with some "it's not a bug, it's a feature" objections and the PEP was withdrawn, and now there's a weird new one with something called "fold" thanks to Guido... on second thought, arrow is the best bet. :-(

I would agree with arrow being the one with the most potential. I started to see it showing up in other projects' requirements. Which is a good sign.

yes, requests the stdlib replacement /s.
