It's a shame that Python's time/date stuff is so wonky. I see stuff like dateutils and arrow and just wish I didn't have to go elsewhere for such core functionality.
That's on point, and you're not alone. It's a little frustrating when you have to take a detour to get something done. There's that extra hurdle. That said, user friendliness, developer friendliness, and maintainability are all about using the best tools for the job. If arrow is that tool, then so be it.

Definitely. The most unfortunate part of this is that people who are newer to the ecosystem won't really know where to go or what they're even looking for, necessarily.
