TimeWithZone

TimeWithZone is a Python library designed to simplify working with dates and times, particularly in scenarios involving different time zones. It provides a convenient and robust way to create, manipulate, and compare datetime objects while accounting for geographical location and daylight saving time.

The core functionality of TimeWithZone revolves around its `Zone` class, which represents a specific time zone. This class allows users to instantiate datetime objects that are aware of their associated time zone. This awareness is crucial for accurate calculations and representations of time across different regions. The library handles the complexities of time zone definitions, including historical changes and the nuances of daylight saving time transitions, ensuring that datetime objects behave as expected regardless of the underlying system's time zone settings.

TimeWithZone supports a wide range of time zone formats and sources, often leveraging established time zone databases. This makes it a versatile tool for applications that deal with international data, scheduling across multiple locations, or logging events that occur in different parts of the world. Its API is designed to be intuitive, offering methods for converting between time zones, performing arithmetic operations on time-aware datetimes, and formatting datetime objects into human-readable strings with their respective time zone information. The library aims to reduce the common errors associated with naive datetime objects and manual time zone calculations.
