It validates RFC3339 format strictly and produces output with either UTC (Z) or local timezone offsets. The package deliberately avoids full timezone libraries and DST complexity by working with offsets and the C time module's local/UTC split.\n\nThe library uses only Python's standard time and calendar modules, keeping dependencies minimal. It rejects leap seconds (seconds 60\u201361) during validation and is limited by the system's time_t size on 32-bit platforms. The package has been abandoned since 2016 and receives no maintenance, so compatibility with modern Python versions and edge cases is not guaranteed.","worth_installing":"No, unless you have a legacy codebase already using it. The package is abandoned (no releases since 2016), marked Beta, and copyleft-licensed (GPLv3), which restricts use in proprietary code. Modern alternatives like the datetime module, dateutil, or pytz are actively maintained. Use this only if you are already locked into it or need minimal dependencies in a GPL-compatible project."},"id":"strict-rfc3339","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/strict-rfc3339","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/strict-rfc3339.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/strict-rfc3339/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-04-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"strict-rfc3339","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Strict, simple, lightweight RFC3339 functions"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":940945,"position":4679,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7"}
