I've just tried it. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be compatible with
PEP 495 datetime yet:
>>> t = astropy.time.Time('2016-12-31T23:59:60')
>>> t.to_datetime()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: Time (array(2016, dtype=int32), array(12, dtype=int32),
array(31, dtype=int32), array(23, dtype=int32), array(59, dtype=int32),
array(60, dtype=int32), array(0, dtype=int32)) is within a leap second but
datetime does not support leap seconds
Maybe someone can propose a feature for astropy to return
datetime(2016,12,31,23,59,59,fold=1) in this case.
