Hey folks,

Just thought I'd draw your attention to my recent proposal to add IANA (e.g. /usr/share/zoneinfo) time zone support to Python's standard library: PEP 615 ( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0615/ ).

I sent out the proposal today, discussion is happening on the Python discourse: https://discuss.python.org/t/3468

There is a reference implementation for the proposed module here (in Python): https://github.com/pganssle/zoneinfo

Any feedback on the proposal would be very welcome -- as many of you can imagine, it can sometimes be hard to get too much feedback on time zone and datetime-related proposals because a great many people (probably rightly so) are just happy that someone else is thinking about it so they don't have to. The discourse is the canonical location for the discussion, so commenting there would be best, but beggars can't be choosers, so I'll happily pass on comments made on this list or sent to me personally.

Thanks!
Paul
