Yes? Is this a problem? If I ask the question "How long is it until
Christmas?" the answer should be different if I ask on one minute past
midnight on December 24 or one minute to midnight.
I daresay that you are correct that many (maybe a majority) of uses of
datetime.today are conceptually better as date.today, but not all of
them.

But it's not an arbitrary variable time. It is just a high-resolution
(down to the microsecond) version of "today", instead of the
low-resolution (down to a single day) date.today. |
