Time is a simple thing, right? And working with it in Python is great. You just import date time

and, somewhat oddly, use the date time class from that module. Oh, except there are times with time

zones and times without time zones. And why is there a total seconds, but no total minutes,

total hours, or total days on time delta.

How about computing the number of weeks in a time span?

What if you wanted to iterate over the next 21 workdays, skipping weekends?

All right, we'd better talk about time in Python.

Good thing Paul Gansel is here.

He's a core developer who controls time in C Python.
