## What it is
Delorean is a Python library that simplifies working with datetimes, offering a cleaner API for shifting, manipulating, and generating datetimes across timezones. It builds on the standard library's zoneinfo and dateutil to provide natural-language-friendly time manipulation.

## Use cases
- convert datetimes between timezones in python
- shift and manipulate dates with a cleaner api
- generate datetimes for scheduling logic
- handle timezone-aware datetime arithmetic
- parse and normalize dates in python

## When to choose
- you want a friendlier wrapper around datetime and zoneinfo
- your code does lots of timezone shifting and date math
- you prefer expressive, chainable datetime manipulation

## When to avoid
- you only need basic datetime operations available in the standard library
- you need a full-featured date library like pendulum or arrow with parsing and humanization
- you work outside the Python ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: date-time
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: datetime, timezone, time-manipulation, dateutil, pytz, automation
