We are already speaking Esperanto. It is just called English. If we want the same time moment in real life then scheduling in UTC is the default. Particular time you could display using any label you like as long as the corresponding UTC time is easily available. It is trivial to find out UTC time on the computer. _______________________________________________ Datetime-SIG mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/datetime-sig The PSF Code of Conduct applies to this mailing list: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
