Comment on Python Enhancement Proposal 495: Local Time Disambiguation

Comments

In general any solution to datetimes that doesn't involve the time being in UTC is solving thew wrong problem.

I would disagree. UTC is ambiguous and unpredictable. Computers should really be based on GPST (seconds since 1980-Jan-6 UTC).

If you want to be pedantic about getting rid of unpredictability in your time measurement, use TAI.

That's defined as TAI minus some seconds, just go for TAI. :)
