In light of that, I propose that the datetime module in Python 4 be changed so that April 1 does not exist:
m31 = date(2019, 3, 31) m31 + timedelta(days = 1) datetime.date(2019, 4, 2)
This would remove a large amount of confusion from the world, and ensure that Python never receives any more backwards incompatible changes.
Obviously, removing a whole day from the year will create problems
It's much simpler to rename April 1 to February 29. (Bikeshed that 29 is already taken, and make it February 30 if you like. And note that February will maintain its uniqueness in an even more prominent way, as the only temporally disconnected month!)
