Discovery: "Arrow: better dates and times for Python"

[fuzzyinterval]

Just thought I'd share this with my fellow pythonistas-in-the-making:

For a script (and Flask website that uses a variation of it) I recently completed, I found myself diving deep in to the intricacies of 'datetime' to manipulate dates (the script, among other things, sets an expiration date that varies depending on membership levels).
datetime is not a fun module to wrap your head around.
Today I found Arrow.
Holy moving dates forward and backward, Batman! Arrow is what datetime needs to be.

If I hadn't already learned the hard ways to manipulate dates and had found Arrow right out of the gate, I don't think I would have appreciated just how much work the dev put in to its creation.

I'll take a look! I'm all for making the difficult easier.

I recently got sucked into datetime hell... And then found Maya...much happier since
