New submission from Anthony Tuininga: Right now there is no documented way to create a datetime instance with a tzinfo instance. The documented macros all hard code the value Py_None for the tzinfo parameter. Using the PyObject_Call() method instead of the macro for creating a datetime instance is ~5x slower.
In addition, there is no macro or method for getting the tzinfo from an existing datetime instance. Perhaps creating DATE_GET_TZINFO and TIME_GET_TZINFO would be acceptable? The enhancement 10381 (http://bugs.python.org/issue10381) would also be needed. I can provide a GitHub PR if that would be helpful. I first want to make sure that such an effort would be appreciated! ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 292230 nosy: atuining priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add ability to get/set tzinfo on datetime instances in C API type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30155> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
