Timezones
Paul Ganssle is a python-dateutil maintainer and PEP 615’s author,
and here he shares stories of
all the complicating factors involved with timezone management.
- Multiple timezone systems and governing bodies
- Vary across location, transitions/year, country, time, and even ethnic group
- Variable amount of timezone releases per year (not synced with Python releases)
This talk explains decisions made within Python’s zoneinfo library.
