Thanks to everyone who participated in the discussions and and reviews, it was very helpful -- I think that we came up with something much better than I could have designed by myself. Now, just a simple matter of implementation and documentation... ( imgur link if the embedded image doesn't work: https://i.imgur.com/AXsxV4k.png )https://imgur.com/AXsxV4k) Best, Paul P.S. Don't worry, Victor, support for nanoseconds in datetime is next on my list 😉 On 4/20/20 4:52 PM, Victor Stinner wrote:

Congrats Paul! This one wasn't easy!

When Paul got promoted, I asked him if he could write a PEP about the local timezone. Well, here we are ;-)

Paul: can I now also get nanosecond resolution? :-D https://bugs.python.org/issue15443

Oh, and leap seconds? https://bugs.python.org/issue23574

I commented there: "One option to explore is to add a "leap seconds" field to datetime.datetime which can be negative (just in case someone decides to add negative leap seconds in the future)."

OMG handling date and time is so hard!

The Python Steering Council accepts PEP 615 - Support for the IANA Time Zone Database in the Standard Library:

Congratulations Paul Ganssle!

This is a fantastic, well written PEP, and we appreciate Paul’s engagement with the SC to clear up our last questions and concerns. We look forward to its availability in Python 3.9. Thank you Paul, and everyone who helped contribute to this important new module.

Cheers, -Barry (on behalf of the Python Steering Council)
