Am I the only one feeling like this entire thread should be moved to python-ideas at this point?

To me, Paul's example is a datetime operation: you start with a datetime (7am today), perform arithmetic on it by adding a period of time (one day), and get a datetime as the result (7am tomorrow). To my naive mind, I would have thought of calendar operations to be things like: - print a calendar; - add or remove an appointment; - send, accept or decline an invitation What do you think calendar operations are, and how do they differ from datetime operations? And most importantly, how can we tell them apart?
