Whenever – typed and DST-safe datetimes for Python

I am not sure I understand the comment. I used pandas as an example of sth I frequently encounter when dealing with python code dealing with data frames. Is it not commonly used? What’s your argument here, I am genuinely asking.

I'm trying to square two aspects of your comment:

> Some libraries are so common that basically everybody uses them, to the point that they're considered the standard and they don't count when I raise complaints about people pulling in dependencies

> "But that's probably a very small minority of libraries that people actually use in certain languages."

It seems like by definition, the majority of libraries that people are actually using are going to be the popular ones that everybody is using.
