Tips on using python's datetime module. Wow. I’ve run in to problems with datetime and timezones before, but I had no idea how intrinsic those problems were to the design of the library.

  1. It's well known if you want to do anything with timezones, you have to use dateutils.

  2. Curious what his admonition against datetime.now() means for commonly-accepted practice for timestamps in Django.

  3. I couldn't find any of those issues in the Python bug tracker. (I only did a very quick search for datetime, so I may be wrong). These sound like serious issues that should be fixed, and they're more likely to be fixed if they're reported.
