Welcome to Using Python’s datetime.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=0.45
My name is Christopher, and I will be your guide.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=2.7
This course gives an introduction to the messy world of managing dates and timeshttps://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=5.49
in software. As the title implies, it primarily focuses on Python’s datetimehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=9.54
module, but also shows some other things along the way.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=14.4
00:19https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=19.89
In this course, you will learn about how messy dates,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=19.89
times, and time zones are, the datetimehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=23.28
module, time zones in Python,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=25.86
and how to do date and time math. Codehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=29.52
in this course was tested using Python 3.10.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=34.12
00:36https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=36.22
Time zone handling changed significantly in Python 3.9https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=36.22
when things previously managed by third-party libraries were brought into thehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=40.06
standard library.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=44.02
The changes were significant enough that they were backported to olderhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=45.52
versions. If you’re using something prior to Python 3.9,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=48.76
I’ll point you at the backports when I get there.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=52.39
00:56https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=56.73
Python has three main modules included as part of the standard library forhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=56.73
dealing with dates and times. The main one you probably want to use is datetime,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=60.15
which also includes tools for date objects, timehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=64.68
objects, and time deltas,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=69.18
although this one’s a bit rudimentary. Dates and times are messy things.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=71.46
01:16https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=76.89
There are loads of formats out there. As a Canadian,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=76.89
I can tell you that I get bit by this all the time.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=79.42
Our American neighbors use a different short form when they write dates.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=82.02
01:25https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=85.83
The difference between day-month-year versus month-https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=85.83
day-year can be unclear up until the thirteenth of the month.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=88.62
As a programmer, I try to insist on year-month-day,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=92.94
the international standard, but standard or not,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=96.57
it isn’t always used. Time zones can also cause craziness.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=99.21
01:44https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=104.31
There are more times zones in the world than the twenty-four hours in the clock.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=104.31
That right there tells you something. Not to keep bringing up the Canadian thing,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=108.09
but it is another good example of the mess. Canada has six times zones,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=111.9
one of which, Newfoundland Standard Time, has a half-hour difference from itshttps://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=116.01
nearest neighbor. Combine that with the problem of daylight savings time,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=119.82
which is also messy.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=124.47
02:05https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=125.94
One of our provinces, Saskatchewan, doesn’t follow daylight savings.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=125.94
So in the winter,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=129.96
it aligns with Central Standard Time and has the same time as its neighbor tohttps://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=130.89
the east, Manitoba, while in the summer,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=134.97
it aligns with its neighbor on the other side, Alberta,https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=137.79
as it syncs with Mountain Standard Time.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=140.85
02:24https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=144.18
Take off, eh, there’s no doubt about it: date and times are messy.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=144.18
02:29https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=149.91
Now that I’ve slagged my fellow Canadians, next up I’ll dive further into all thehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=149.91
complications of dates and times.https://realpython.com/courses/python-datetime-module/continue/#t=153.96
