Dear SIG, I have expanded the Q & A section of the PEP [1] and made some other changes based on your feedback. My goal is to address in the Q & As every concern that have been raised and not resulted in a change to the man text.
Experience shows that I am very bad at collecting the questions. I invent the questions that no one asked and miss those that some of you did. Please let me know if I did not address your feedback. Note that I did not include all suggestions for the name of the flag, but I thank everyone who made their suggestions. I think we are really left with two contenders: "fold" and "later." The only additional variant I would like to consider is "fold" with the integer values of 0 and 1. I think time(1, 30, fold=1) is short and sweet and looks better than time(1, 30, later=True). Note that neither spelling is self-explanatory, particularly if you see something like if dt.replace(later=True) < dt.replace(later=False) in someone's code, but the word "fold" points you in the right direction and is more Google-friendly than "later". The reason I think fold=0 and fold=1 may work better than booleans, is that you can think of the local time line as consisting of two "folds" one - the main timeline and the other a discontinuous line covering the fall-back hours.
