Justin Brown added the comment: This behavior conflicts with the other major classes, datetime.date and datetime.datetime. The ostensible reason for this falsy behavior is that midnight represents a fundamental zero point. We should expect to see similar zero points that evaluate to False for the other two classes. However, they do not include such falsy behavior.
In [2]: bool(datetime.datetime(datetime.MINYEAR, 1, 1)) Out[2]: True In [3]: bool(datetime.date(datetime.MINYEAR, 1, 1)) Out[3]: True Why don't these classes have any sense of zero at their minimums? datetime.time.__bool__ should be dropped if for nothing more than consistency. ---------- nosy: +fandingo _______________________________________ 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
