This is a query for information as to how to proceed. I am not a professional programmer, but I use Python a great deal to help me in my main job, which involves designing schedules for a global airline. As such, I use datetime (and dateutil) extensively, and after much use, I have come to some conclusions about their utility, and how to improve them. Some of these changes are quite minor and would result in a large increase in utility (low hanging fruit), while some changes are major, and would result in less obvious benefits - but these changes would increase the 'Python Zen' of them.
So - where should I propose these changes? Here? python-dev? Should I write up a full PEP or should I just give a more informal outline with code samples? I would volunteer to help maintain/improve datetime, but I don't speak C at all, unfortunately, and datetime appears to be in C. In addition, I have little contact with the Python community - I work somewhat 'solo' when it comes to my programming projects. So, are there other people out there who use datetime? Dateutil? What do you find the deficits/benefits of these modules to be? Thank you for your thoughts.... Nick Fabry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
