Tim Peters 8d81a012ef date and datetime comparison: when we don't know how to
compare against "the other" argument, we raise TypeError,
in order to prevent comparison from falling back to the
default (and worse than useless, in this case) comparison
by object address.

That's fine so far as it goes, but leaves no way for
another date/datetime object to make itself comparable
to our objects.  For example, it leaves Marc-Andre no way
to teach mxDateTime dates how to compare against Python
dates.

Discussion on Python-Dev raised a number of impractical
ideas, and the simple one implemented here:  when we don't
know how to compare against "the other" argument, we raise
TypeError *unless* the other object has a timetuple attr.
In that case, we return NotImplemented instead, and Python
will give the other object a shot at handling the
comparison then.

Note that comparisons of time and timedelta objects still
suffer the original problem, though.

Tim Peters 2a44a8d332 SF bug 660872: datetimetz constructors behave counterintuitively (2.3a1).
This gives much the same treatment to datetime.fromtimestamp(stamp, tz) as
the last batch of checkins gave to datetime.now(tz):  do "the obvious"
thing with the tz argument instead of a senseless thing.

Tim Peters 10cadce41e Reimplemented datetime.now() to be useful. 2003-01-23 19:58:02 +00:00
Tim Peters f196a0a4dd "Premature" doc changes, for new astimezone() rules, and the new
tzinfo.fromutc() method.  The C code doesn't implement any of this
yet (well, not the C code on the machine I'm using now), nor does
the test suite reflect it.  The Python datetime.py implementation and
test suite in the sandbox do match these doc changes.  The C
implementation probably won't catch up before Thursday (Wednesday is
a scheduled "black hole" day this week <0.4 wink>).

Tim Peters 327098a613 New rule for tzinfo subclasses handling both standard and daylight time:
When daylight time ends, an hour repeats on the local clock (for example,
in US Eastern, the clock jumps from 1:59 back to 1:00 again).  Times in
the repeated hour are ambiguous.  A tzinfo subclass that wants to play
with astimezone() needs to treat times in the repeated hour as being
standard time.  astimezone() previously required that such times be
treated as daylight time.  There seems no killer argument either way,
but Guido wants the standard-time version, and it does seem easier the
new way to code both American (local-time based) and European (UTC-based)
switch rules, and the astimezone() implementation is simpler.

Raymond Hettinger 6fe1299b09 SF bug #652888: bad documentation for the "type" builtin
Clarified that not all types are included.  The OP was looking for a
StaticMethodType.

Also, added a note and example suggesting the use of int,str, etc.
instead of IntType, StrType, etc.

Renamed the crummy variable name in the example from "list" to "mylist".

Tim Peters 003720235b Massive fiddling to reflect that datetimetz and timetz no longer exist.
WARNING:  It would be a minor miracle if the LaTeX stuff still worked.

s/field/member/ generally everywhere, to conform with most other usage in
the docs.

s/daylight savings time/daylight saving time/ generally everywhere,
because the latter spelling is anally correct.
