We're still just papering-over the basic problem: the entire
time/calendar system use by "western civilization" is a mess.  I don't
know a lot about other systems in use, but from what I have seen they
were all pretty much just as bad.  We should fix the basic problem
first, then I bet the Python library problems will sort themselves out
pretty easily.

Of course to simplify matters, we're going to have to stop worrying so
much about seasons and whether it's light or dark outside...
