Helicopter: A Better Solution for Date and Time Handling
Helicopter is a new solution for handling date and time in Python. It addresses the frustration of dealing with traditional date and time formats by introducing a subclass of datetime called datetimeTZ, which is timezone-aware. Helicopter also offers local and UTC subclasses to handle specific time zone scenarios. The library simplifies working with time zones and provides additional features such as static type checking and pedantic integration.
