Native datetime instances are enough for basic cases but when you face more
|
|
complex use-cases they often show limitations and are not so intuitive to work
|
|
with. Pendulum provides a cleaner and more easy to use API while still relying
|
|
on the standard library. So it's still datetime but better.
|
|
|
|
Unlike other datetime libraries for Python, Pendulum is a drop-in replacement
|
|
for the standard datetime class (it inherits from it), so, basically, you can
|
|
replace all your datetime instances by DateTime instances in your code
|
|
(exceptions exist for libraries that check the type of the objects by using the
|
|
type function like sqlite3 or PyMySQL for instance).
|
|
|
|
It also removes the notion of naive datetimes: each Pendulum instance is
|
|
timezone-aware and by default in UTC for ease of use.
|
|
|
|
Pendulum also improves the standard timedelta class by providing more intuitive
|
|
methods and properties.
