I like Alexander's new tzstrict (subclass of tzinfo) idea best so far.
I like it too.
Thanks for the kind words, Tim, Ethan and Guido! I've also wondered about a possibility to delegate arithmetics to the timezone class altogether.
For example, we could have a rule like this:
def __add__(self, delta): if hasattr(self.tzinfo, 'add'): return self.tzinfo.add(self, delta)
This, in theory, is powerful enough to support leap seconds if we represent 23:59:60.x as time(23, 59, 59, x, first=False).
