Aren't there time-zone concerns? Or is this just a mapping
between D's std.datetime.DateTime and python's
datetime.datetime with tzinfo==None, i.e. a naive date?
Also, there would have to be some serious warning signs about
translating from python to D, in that the micro-seconds will
be truncated. Doesn't a lack of microseconds make it unusable
for tick data?
https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/datetime.html
The Python API has microseconds passed as an int in last
argument. You're right that I hadn't considered that D
DateTime doesn't have fractions of a second (I think), so a
SysTime would be better.
On the other hand, I think datetime.datetime and numpy
datetime64 are timezone-free.
both datetime.datetime and numpy.datetime64 have timezone support.
