R. David Murray added the comment: timezone is relatively new. Work is in progress to add better timezone support to datetime, but it is a complicated subject and may or may not make it into 3.6. In any case I think it is too soon to talk about this kind of API change, before the other work gets farther along. That's probably also true for changes to the docs, although a concrete proposal there might have some chance. There's a mailing list for talking specifically about datetime issues, you might want to post there (see mail.python.org, datetime-sig). ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> later stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25428> _______________________________________
