Could this be revisited? Especially now that datetime supports `fromisoformat`, as there are valid ISO8601 timestamps in UTC out there, that contain the leap seconds, e.g. files describing when those occured or will occur. E.g. the NTP Leap second file: https://kb.meinbergglobal.com/kb/time_sync/ntp/configuration/ntp_leap_second_file This get's synced on linux to `/usr/share/zoneinfo/leapseconds` and could even be used by python to lookup when leap seconds occured. The datetime also gained a fold argument, which if it is not wanted to support second values of 60 to at least be able to parse those. The 60th second of a minute is a reality with our current civil time keeping, so python should be able to handle it. ---------- nosy: +maxnoe _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue23574> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
