62 An idealized naive date, assuming the current Gregorian calendar
63 always was, and always will be, in effect.
64 Attributes: <tt class="member">year</tt>, <tt class="member">month</tt>, and <tt class="member">day</tt>.

69<dd>
70 An idealized time, independent of any particular day, assuming
71 that every day has exactly 24*60*60 seconds (there is no notion
72 of "leap seconds" here).
73 Attributes: <tt class="member">hour</tt>, <tt class="member">minute</tt>, <tt class="member">second</tt>,
74 <tt class="member">microsecond</tt>, and <tt class="member">tzinfo</tt>.

79<dd>
80 A combination of a date and a time.
81 Attributes: <tt class="member">year</tt>, <tt class="member">month</tt>, <tt class="member">day</tt>,
82 <tt class="member">hour</tt>, <tt class="member">minute</tt>, <tt class="member">second</tt>,

88<dd>
89 A duration expressing the difference between two <tt class="class">date</tt>,
90 <tt class="class">time</tt>, or <tt class="class">datetime</tt> instances to microsecond
91 resolution.
92</dl>

96<dd>
97 An abstract base class for time zone information objects. These
98 are used by the <tt class="class">datetime</tt> and <tt class="class">time</tt> classes to
99 provide a customizable notion of time adjustment (for example, to
100 account for time zone and/or daylight saving time).
101</dl>
102
103<P>
104Objects of these types are immutable.
105
106<P>
107Objects of the <tt class="class">date</tt> type are always naive.
108
109<P>
110An object <var>d</var> of type <tt class="class">time</tt> or <tt class="class">datetime</tt> may be
111naive or aware. <var>d</var> is aware if <code><var>d</var>.tzinfo</code> is not
112<code>None</code> and <code><var>d</var>.tzinfo.utcoffset(<var>d</var>)</code> does not return
113<code>None</code>. If <code><var>d</var>.tzinfo</code> is <code>None</code>, or if
114<code><var>d</var>.tzinfo</code> is not <code>None</code> but
115<code><var>d</var>.tzinfo.utcoffset(<var>d</var>)</code> returns <code>None</code>, <var>d</var>
116is naive.
117
118<P>
119The distinction between naive and aware doesn't apply to
120<tt class="class">timedelta</tt> objects.
