## 6.9.1 Available Types

class `date`
  An idealized naive date, assuming the current Gregorian calendar always was, and always will be, in effect. Attributes: `year`, `month`, and `day`.

class `time`
  An idealized time, independent of any particular day, assuming that every day has exactly 24*60*60 seconds (there is no notion of "leap seconds" here). Attributes: `hour`, `minute`, `second`, `microsecond`, and `tzinfo`.

class `datetime`
  A combination of a date and a time. Attributes: `year`, `month`, `day`, `hour`, `minute`, `second`, `microsecond`, and `tzinfo`.

class `timedelta`
  A duration expressing the difference between two `date`, `time`, or `datetime` instances to microsecond resolution.

class `tzinfo`
  An abstract base class for time zone information objects. These are used by the `datetime` and `time` classes to provide a customizable notion of time adjustment (for example, to account for time zone and/or daylight saving time).

Objects of these types are immutable.

Objects of the `date` type are always naive.

An object d of type `time` or `datetime` may be naive or aware. d is aware if `d.tzinfo` is not `None` and `d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d)` does not return `None`. If `d.tzinfo` is `None`, or if `d.tzinfo` is not `None` but `d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d)` returns `None`, d is naive.

The distinction between naive and aware doesn't apply to `timedelta` objects.
