Python's datetime sucks

Python's standard datetime module is criticized for lacking useful features compared to C# and .NET. Key pain points include no meaningful time delta properties (e.g., no TotalHours), no proper month arithmetic, no locale-aware formatting without global state, and missing helpers for common tasks like leap year detection or DST checks. C# examples are used throughout to illustrate how these operations should work.
