datetime-min-max (DTZ901)
Derived from the flake8-datetimez linter.
This rule is unstable and in preview. The --preview
flag is required for use.
What it does
Checks for uses of datetime.datetime.max
and datetime.datetime.min
.
Why is this bad?
datetime.max
and datetime.min
are non-timezone-aware datetime objects.
As such, operations on datetime.max
and datetime.min
may behave
unexpectedly, as in:
# Timezone: UTC-14
datetime.max.timestamp() # ValueError: year 10000 is out of range
datetime.min.timestamp() # ValueError: year 0 is out of range
Example
Use instead:
