Why Zulu?
=========
Why zulu instead of `native datetimes <https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/datetime.html#datetime-objects>`_:
- Zulu has extended datetime features such as ``parse()``, ``format()``, ``shift()``, and `python-dateutil`_ timezone support.
- Parses ISO8601 and timestamps by default without any extra arguments.
- Easier to reason about ``Zulu`` objects since they are only ever UTC datetimes.
- Clear delineation between UTC and other time zones where timezone representation is only applicable for display or conversion to native datetime.
- Supports more string parsing/formatting options using `Unicode date patterns`_ as well as ``strptime/strftime`` directives.
Why zulu instead of `Arrow`_:
- Zulu is a drop-in replacement for native datetimes (inherits from ``datetime.datetime``). No need to convert using ``arrow.datetime`` when you need a datetime (zulu is always a datetime).
- Stricter parsing to avoid silent errors. For example, one might expect ``arrow.get('02/08/1987', 'MM/DD/YY')`` to fail (input does not match format) but it gladly returns ``<Arrow [2019-02-08T00:00:00+00:00)`` whereas ``zulu.parse('02/08/1987', '%m/%d/%y')`` throws ``zulu.parser.ParseError: Value "02/08/1987" does not match any format in ['%m/%d/%y']``.
- Avoids timezone/DST shifting bugs by only dealing with UTC datetimes when applying timedeltas or performing other calculations.
- Supports ``strptime/strftime`` as well as `Unicode date patterns`_ for string parsing/formatting.

Changelog
=========
v2.0.1 (2023-11-20)
-------------------
- Add support for Python 3.12
- Replace usage of deprecated ``datetime.utcnow`` and ``datetime.utcfromtimestamp``.
v2.0.0 (2021-06-26)
-------------------
- Drop support for Python 3.4 and 3.5.
v1.3.1 (2021-06-26)
-------------------
- Fix compatibility issue with Python 3.4 and 3.5 by replacing f-string usage with string-format.
v1.3.0 (2021-01-07)
-------------------
- Add Python 3.9 support.
- Fix bug in ``Zulu.time_from``, ``Zulu.time_to``, ``Zulu.time_from_now``, and ``Zulu.time_to_now`` where keyword arguments weren't passed to underlying ``Delta.format`` call.
- Fix bug in ``Zulu.format`` where "YY" and "YYYY" format patterns would return the year in "Week of Year" based calendars instead of the regular calendar year.
v1.2.0 (2020-01-14)
-------------------
- Add Python 3.8 support.
- Add ``'week'`` option to ``Zulu.start_of``, ``Zulu.end_of``, ``Zulu.span``, and ``Zulu.span_range``. Thanks ThomasChiroux_!
- Fix bug in ``Zulu.astimezone`` in Python 3.8 due to change in return type from ``super().asdatetime``. In Python<=3.7, ``super().asdatetime`` returned as instance of ``datetime``, but in Python 3.8 another instance of ``Zulu`` was returned instead. ``Zulu.astimezone`` will now return a ``datetime`` instance in Python 3.8.
v1.1.1 (2019-08-14)
-------------------

v1.1.0 (2018-11-01)
-------------------
- Add ``fold`` attribute support to ``Zulu``.
- Add ``zulu.to_seconds`` for converting units of time to total number of seconds.

- Remove ``Delta.__iter__`` method. (**breaking change**)
v0.11.0 (2017-06-28)
--------------------
- Add Python 3.6 support.
- Add ``Delta.__iter__`` method that yields 2-element tuples like ``Zulu.__iter__``. Delta values are normalized into integer values distributed from the higher units to the lower units.
- Add ``Delta.__float__`` and ``Delta.__int__`` methods for converting to seconds.
- Add ``Zulu.__float__`` and ``Zulu.__int__`` methods for converting to epoch seconds.
- Fix issue in Python 3.6 where ``zulu.now()`` returned a naive datetime ``Zulu`` instance.
- Make ``Zulu.__iter__`` yield 2-element tuples containing ``(unit, value)`` like ``(('year', 2000), ('month', 12), ...)`` so it can be converted to a ``dict`` with proper keys easier. (**breaking change**)
- Remove previously deprecated ``zulu.delta()`` function. Use ``zulu.parse_delta()`` instead. (**breaking change**)
- Rename modules: (**breaking change**)
- ``zulu.datetime -> zulu.zulu``
- ``zulu.timedelta -> zulu.delta``

No need to convert using ``arrow.datetime`` when you need a datetime (zulu is always a datetime).\n- Stricter parsing to avoid silent errors. For example, one might expect ``arrow.get('02/08/1987', 'MM/DD/YY')`` to fail (input does not match format) but it gladly returns ``<Arrow [2019-02-08T00:00:00+00:00)`` whereas ``zulu.parse('02/08/1987', '%m/%d/%y')`` throws ``zulu.parser.ParseError: Value \"02/08/1987\" does not match any format in ['%m/%d/%y']``.\n- Avoids timezone/DST shifting bugs by only dealing with UTC datetimes when applying timedeltas or performing other calculations.\n- Supports ``strptime/strftime`` as well as `Unicode date patterns`_ for string parsing/formatting.\n\n\nSpecial Thanks\n==============\n\nSpecial thanks goes out to the authors/contributors of the following libraries that have made it possible for ``zulu`` to exist:\n\n- `Babel`_\n- `iso8601`_\n- `python-dateutil`_\n- `pytimeparse`_\n- `pytz`_\n\n\nFor the full documentation, please visit https://zulu.readthedocs.io.\n\n\n\n.. _Unicode date patterns: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-19.html#Date_Field_Symbol_Table\n.. _Arrow: https://arrow.readthedocs.io\n.. _Babel: https://github.com/python-babel/babel\n.. _iso8601: https://bitbucket.org/micktwomey/pyiso8601\n.. _python-dateutil: https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil\n.. _pytimeparse: https://github.com/wroberts/pytimeparse\n.. _pytz: http://pythonhosted.org/pytz\n\n.. |version| image:: https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/zulu.svg?style=flat-square\n :target: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zulu/\n\n.. |build| image:: https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/dgilland/zulu/main.yml?branch=master&style=flat-square\n :target: https://github.com/dgilland/zulu/actions\n\n.. |coveralls| image:: https://img.shields.io/coveralls/dgilland/zulu/master.svg?style=flat-square\n :target: https://coveralls.io/r/dgilland/zulu\n\n.. |license| image:: https://img.shields.io/pypi/l/zulu.svg?style=flat-square\n :target: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zulu/\n\nChangelog\n=========\n\n\nv2.0.1 (2023-11-20)\n-------------------\n\n- Add support for Python 3.12\n- Replace usage of deprecated ``datetime.utcnow`` and ``datetime.utcfromtimestamp``.\n\n\nv2.0.0 (2021-06-26)\n-------------------\n\n- Drop support for Python 3.4 and 3.5.\n\n\nv1.3.1 (2021-06-26)\n-------------------\n\n- Fix compatibility issue with Python 3.4 and 3.5 by replacing f-string usage with string-format.\n\n\nv1.3.0 (2021-01-07)\n-------------------\n\n- Add Python 3.9 support.\n- Fix bug in ``Zulu.time_from``, ``Zulu.time_to``, ``Zulu.time_from_now``, and ``Zulu.time_to_now`` where keyword arguments weren't passed to underlying ``Delta.format`` call.\n- Fix bug in ``Zulu.format`` where \"YY\" and \"YYYY\" format patterns would return the year in \"Week of Year\" based calendars instead of the regular calendar year.\n\n\nv1.2.0 (2020-01-14)\n-------------------\n\n- Add Python 3.8 support.\n- Add ``'week'`` option to ``Zulu.start_of``, ``Zulu.end_of``, ``Zulu.span``, and ``Zulu.span_range``. Thanks ThomasChiroux_!\n- Fix bug in ``Zulu.astimezone`` in Python 3.8 due to change in return type from ``super().asdatetime``. In Python<=3.7, ``super().asdatetime`` returned as instance of ``datetime``, but in Python 3.8 another instance of ``Zulu`` was returned instead. ``Zulu.astimezone`` will now return a ``datetime`` instance in Python 3.8.\n\n\nv1.1.1 (2019-08-14)\n-------------------\n\n- Remove unused parameter in ``zulu.Timer.__init__()``.\n\n\nv1.1.0 (2018-11-01)\n-------------------\n\n- Add ``fold`` attribute support to ``Zulu``.\n- Add ``zulu.to_seconds`` for converting units of time to total number of seconds.\n- Add ``zulu.Timer`` class that can be used to track elapsed time (like a stopwatch) or as a countdown timer.\n\n\nv1.0.0 (2018-08-20)\n-------------------\n\n- Drop support for Python 2.7.\n\n\nv0.12.1 (2018-07-16)\n--------------------\n\n- Support Python 3.7.\n\n\nv0.12.0 (2017-07-11)\n--------------------\n\n- Add ``Zulu.datetimetuple()``.\n- Add ``Zulu.datetuple()``.\n- Remove ``Zulu.__iter__`` method. (**breaking change**)\n- Remove ``Delta.__iter__`` method. (**breaking change**)\n\n\nv0.11.0 (2017-06-28)\n--------------------\n\n- Add Python 3.6 support.\n- Add ``Delta.__iter__`` method that yields 2-element tuples like ``Zulu.__iter__``. Delta values are normalized into integer values distributed from the higher units to the lower units.\n- Add ``Delta.__float__`` and ``Delta.__int__`` methods for converting to seconds.\n- Add ``Zulu.__float__`` and ``Zulu.__int__`` methods for converting to epoch seconds.\n- Fix issue in Python 3.6 where ``zulu.now()`` returned a naive datetime ``Zulu`` instance.\n- Make ``Zulu.__iter__`` yield 2-element tuples containing ``(unit, value)`` like ``(('year', 2000), ('month', 12), ...)`` so it can be converted to a ``dict`` with proper keys easier. (**breaking change**)\n- Remove previously deprecated ``zulu.delta()`` function. Use ``zulu.parse_delta()`` instead. (**breaking change**)\n- Rename modules: (**breaking change**)\n\n - ``zulu.datetime -> zulu.zulu``\n - ``zulu.timedelta -> zulu.delta``\n\n\nv0.10.1 (2017-02-15)\n--------------------\n\n- Provide fallback for the default value of ``locale`` in ``Delta.format()`` when a locale is not known via environment variables.\n\n\nv0.10.0 (2017-02-13)\n--------------------\n\n- Add ``zulu.parse_delta`` as alias for ``Delta.parse``.\n- Deprecate ``zulu.delta`` in favor of ``zulu.parse_delta``.\n- Allow first argument to ``Zulu()``, ``Zulu.parse()``, and ``zulu.parse()`` to be a ``dict`` containing keys corresponding to initialization parameters.\n- Fix error message for invalid timezone strings so that the supplied string is shown correctly.\n\n\nv0.9.0 (2016-11-21)\n-------------------\n\n- Require ``python-dateutil>=2.6.0``. (**breaking change**)\n- Replace usage of ``pytz`` timezone handling for strings with ``dateutil.tz.gettz``. Continue to support ``pytz`` timezones during ``Zulu()`` object creation. (**breaking change**).\n- Replace default UTC timezone with ``dateutil.tz.tzutc()``. Was previously ``pytz.UTC``. (**breaking change**)\n- Replace local timezone with ``dateutil.tz.tzlocal()``. Was previously set by the ``tzlocal`` library.
