I am learning python programming. One thing that gives me a lot of confusion is 
the division of labours between the time module and the datetime module.

As it turns out to be, time module is not only about time, it's about date too. 
And datetime doesn't natively support timezone, you have to create one for 
yourself. 

Why duplicate datetime module? What is the design rationale between this 
division? Can't we just have one unified module that deals with dates and 
times? Could someone please list some situations where the two modules are 
actually useful in their own ways respectively?

Explanation with not too much jargon is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
