time: Time and date
This module contains classes and a utility functions for dealing with times and dates. Date calculations assume the Gregorian calendar that is used everywhere in the Western world. Dates before the initiation of the Gregorian calendar can be used, but they are extrapolated and not historically accurate.
Note: These classes are not aware of time zones and leap seconds.
