[New-bugs-announce] [issue30155] Add ability to get/set tzinfo on datetime instances in C API

New submission from Anthony Tuininga:

Right now there is no documented way to create a datetime instance with a tzinfo instance. The documented macros all hard code the value Py_None for the tzinfo parameter. Using the PyObject_Call() method instead of the macro for creating a datetime instance is ~5x slower.

In addition, there is no macro or method for getting the tzinfo from an existing datetime instance. Perhaps creating DATE_GET_TZINFO and TIME_GET_TZINFO would be acceptable?

The enhancement 10381 (http://bugs.python.org/issue10381) would also be needed.

I can provide a GitHub PR if that would be helpful. I first want to make sure that such an effort would be appreciated!
