I honestly think we should completely get rid of Pendulum. I think it comes from the history where Airflow was also Python 2.7 compliant and Pendulum had many advantages over the standard datetime and friends. Right now with Python 3.6+ I see no reason why we should use Pendulum especially that it seems to be MUCH slower (like all the other non-native date parsing/handling libraries https://aboutsimon.com/blog/2016/08/04/datetime-vs-Arrow-vs-Pendulum-vs-Delorean-vs-udatetime.html). This is from 2016 so things might have changed since (and penduilum does have c extensions it seems), but I saw so many problems coming from us using it and mixing pendulum with native datetime. I remember a problem I spend hours looking for where different behaviour of Pendulum when passed datatime object in the presence or lack of fold parameter (one of the problems which only manifested in Python 3.5). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
