- Discovered this through Hugo van Kemenade
Dependency groups, PEP 735, supported

Michael #4: Whenever
- via Pat Decker
- Typed and DST-safe datetimes for Python, available in Rust or pure Python.
- Whenever helps you write correct and type checked datetime code.
- It's also way faster than other third-party libraries—and usually the standard library as well.
