I don't think singletons are foreign to Python: after all we write None rather than NoneType() . We can reach a middle ground by interning UTC instances behind the scenes so that UTC() is UTC() will always be true. This will address most of the issues that I raised and utc = datetime.UTC() is simple enough to write as long as you don't have to worry about sharing utc instance between modules. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5094> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
