Ah, interesting. I just wrote a program last month where I was baffled that time didn't support arithmetic, and had to dodge painfully through datetime instances to do the arithmetic. I asked about it on IRC and someone said it was because arithmetic on times was ambiguous because of timezones, and I just accepted that rather than wonder why it hadn't been implemented. Otherwise I'm pretty sympathetic to the RFE, but I'd really like time arithmetic to work, so I guess I'd have to be -1 in that case, wouldn't I? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13936> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
