PEP 495 – Local Time Disambiguation

If anyone is interested, this is has been implemented in a backwards-compatible way in the latest version of python-dateutil's time zones, so it has been effectively backported to python 2.6+ and python 3.3+.

Release notes: https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil/releases/tag/2.6.0

Documentation: https://dateutil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tz.html#dateutil.t...

Sometimes I get the feeling that people who make decisions about how to tell time are deliberately fucking with programmers. Half-hour DSTs and timezones? Leap-seconds? Still using the Julian calendar? FEBRUARY 30?!?!? [1]

You guys are dicks.
