Python's datetime sucks

The article criticizes Python's standard datetime module for being inadequate and cumbersome compared to C#/.NET. It highlights missing features like meaningful time deltas, month-aware arithmetic, easy locale-aware formatting, and simple calculations for days in a month or DST checks. The author argues that handling dates and times is complex and should be better supported by the standard library.
