Hi @DuckDuckGo, when I search for "python datetime", the Python 2 documentation page is the very first result and the Python 3 page doesn't appear in the results at all! Those pages are probably quite similar, but distinct in very important ways!

Do not scab

Stay away from Amazon

Stand with your fellow worker

Joke is ruined, I realised we needed a third.

Anyway, I just named this branch labrys because I'm introducing a second axis to our data model

there's two hard problems in computer science: we only have one joke and it's not funny.
