What Hacker News says
4 sourcesIt’s been months since I first showcased Pendulum on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12299013). At the time it was not stable but I received a lot of valuable feedback to shape it to what it is now.
It’s now stable (since January actually) and has gain traction since I first introduced it, so I thought I’d share it here again so that it can be of use to more people.
For those wondering, Pendulum is a library for Python to ease datetimes, timedeltas and timezones manipulation.
Each Pendulum classes are subclasses of the standard classes so you can use them as drop-in replacements in your code (some exceptions exist, see https://pendulum.eustace.io/docs/#limitations)

Obviously no OS developer owes anybody an explanation, but man would I appreciate if more projects had a "why you should use this over related projects" (like e.g. pendulum does https://github.com/sdispater/pendulum/blob/master/README.rst...)
In Show HN: Kim – A Python serialization and marshaling frameworkFor those of you who don’t know, Pendulum is a library for Python to ease datetimes, timedeltas and timezones manipulation. It has come a long way since the early releases and has now reached its first stable version.
It provides objects and classes that directly inherits from the standard library ones so you can use them transparently (exceptions exist, see https://github.com/sdispater/pendulum#limitations)
Basically, the Pendulum class is a replacement for the native datetime one with some useful and intuitive methods, the Interval class is intended to be a better timedelta class and the Period class is a datetime-aware timedelta. It also provides Date and Time classes (introduced in version 0.7.0).
Timezones are also easier to deal with: Pendulum will automatically normalize your datetime to handle DST transitions for you.

endulum
pendulum.create(2013, 3, 31, 2, 30, 0, 0, 'Europe/Paris’)
# 2:30 for the 31th of March 2013 does not exist
# so pendulum will return the actual time which is 3:30+02:00
'2013-03-31T03:30:00+02:00’
dt = pendulum.create(2013, 3, 31, 1, 59, 59, 999999, 'Europe/Paris’)
'2013-03-31T01:59:59.999999+01:00’
dt = dt.add(microseconds=1)
'2013-03-31T03:00:00+02:00’
dt.subtract(microseconds=1)
'2013-03-31T01:59:59.999998+01:00’
Note that on creation, the normalization behavior is configurable (see https://pendulum.eustace.io/docs/#timezones for more information).
To those wondering: yes I know Arrow (http://crsmithdev.com/arrow/) exists but its flaws and strange API (you can throw almost anything at get() and it will do its best to determine what you wanted, for instance) motivated me to start this project. You can check why I think Arrow is flawed here: https://pendulum.eustace.io/faq/#why-not-arrow (or https://github.com/sdispater/pendulum#why-not-arrow)
