pytz is a Python library that brings the IANA/Olson timezone database into the Python runtime, enabling accurate, cross-platform timezone calculations for all the world’s timezones. It addresses a major limitation of Python’s built-in datetime.tzinfo by providing consistent support for daylight-saving transitions, historical offset changes, and ambiguous times (such as the end of DST). With pytz, developers can convert naïve datetime objects into timezone-aware ones, shift between timezones, and safely perform arithmetic across DST boundaries with methods like localize() and normalize(). Although Python 3.9 and newer include better built-in timezone support (via zoneinfo and external packages like tzdata), pytz remains widely used—especially in legacy codebases or in environments where backward compatibility matters.

...It supports many formats in input and output, internationalization (i18n), locale-based month/day names, relative time (for example, “3 days ago”), and chaining of operations (adding, subtracting, diffing). Developers often use it for calendar displays, scheduling, and manipulating times across time zones or daylight saving transitions. While it makes working with date strings convenient, moment maintains internal mutability, which has trade-offs with safety and chainability. Over time, newer alternatives with immutable and modular designs have emerged, but moment remains widely known and integrated in many legacy projects. Its comprehensive feature set and ease of use made it a standard for date-time handling in JavaScript for many years.

Penumbra is a mathematically balanced color scheme designed in a perceptually uniform color space, with base colors inspired by the natural interplay of sunlight and sky. It separates luminance, chroma, and hue to make the most efficient use of the available color space on standard electronic displays. The palette consists of nine nearly symmetric base colors, which are used to build the main light and dark themes, along with two additional high-contrast dark variants tailored for people...

A MvvmCross plugin that provides date and time conversion utilities for cross-platform applications, simplifying time zone and formatting tasks.

...Radiance is superior to simpler lighting calculation and rendering tools in that there are no limitations on the geometry or the materials that may be simulated. Scene geometry, materials, luminaires, time, date and sky conditions (for daylight calculations) are specified; spectral radiance (ie. luminance + color), irradiance (illuminance + color) and glare indices are calculated. Simulation results may be displayed as color images, numerical values and contour plots. Radiance is useful for architects and engineers in predicting illumination, visual quality and appearance of innovative design spaces; and for researchers in evaluating new lighting and daylighting technologies.
