Good to see we're starting to come close to getting dates and times handled according to the rules (I won't say sensibly, because the rules themselves aren't sensible). But then we start over-reaching and trying to handle social constructs built on top of dates and times, which is even more of a mess D:

Eg, spot the error:

    _weekend_days = [SATURDAY, SUNDAY]
    date.is_weekend = date.day in _weekend_days
Hint: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workweek_and_weekend#Around_th...

(TIL one country doesn't even have consecutive weekend days)

I agree but this is an optional feature which might cover most of the developers needs. But, if not, it's configurable:

    pendulum.set_weekend_days([pendulum.SUNDAY])
