Software sux

Changing the Python libraries to try to fix buggy software strikes me, on the face of it, as a bad idea.

I am sensitive to this having recently worked with ode that stored time as a string, wall clock local, with no timezone.

And made time series data from it

Software sux, because programmers do silly things

Stop it!
