[This is a post in my latest, probably long-ass, series.  You may want to begin at the beginning.  I do not promise that the next post in the series will be next week.  Just that I will eventually finish it, someday.  Unless I get hit by a bus.

IMPORTANT NOTE!  When I provide you links to code on GitHub, I’m giving you links to particular commits.  This allows me to show you the code as it was at the time the blog post was written and insures that the code references will make sense in the context of this post.  Just be aware that the latest version of the code may be very different.]

Last time I babbled on for a while about my general plans, and finally came up with a name other than “my perfect date module.” This time we stop screwing around and finally write some code.

I decided to start out with the date class.  In retrospect, I sort of wished I’d started with the datetime class, as that would’ve been a lot simpler.  But the date class was more interesting, and more immediately useful, so that’s where I started, so that’s where we’ll start as well.
