| Django tries to keep as little dependancies as possible. Personally when I use django, I also use pendulum at the same time. Django timezone management is limited to storing, retrieving and formatting time zone aware dates, but for: - calculations - moving from one time zone to another - display of relative time - parsing - interval manipulations Pendulum is making the job a breeze. Let's put back things in context: most people don't need those features at all. And most people won't be affected by the bug in the article. Use pendulum if you need it, which is quite rarely. When I say people usually use libs like it, I mean people that have specific tasks that requires it. Few people actually do. It's like asyncio, or "is python fast enough" and other things like that. |
