Comment (by zooko):

 Oh, coincidentally this was discussed on the python list two days ago:

 {{{
 Standards are good.  When it comes to leap seconds there can be no
 current implementation which satisfies everyone because of this
 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/epochtime.html
 Until the delegates to ITU-R SG7 produce a better recommendation there
 is going to be chaotic disregard of the standard where folks with
 different needs choose different practical implementations.
