📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe changes extend the Unix timestamp and time structure handling in the time module with platform-specific code paths and new helper functions. Function signatures for gmtime, localtime, and ctime now accept optional nullable time values. StructTimeData gains new constructors (new_inner, new_utc, new_local) for platform-specific instantiation, and strftime/asctime logic is refactored to branch on Unix versus non-Unix implementations.

Incorrect workaround handling
- Replace chrono-based gmtime/localtime/mktime/strftime/asctime/ctime with direct libc calls (gmtime_r, localtime_r, mktime, strftime) on unix, keeping chrono as fallback for non-unix platforms - Add checked_tm_from_struct_time for struct_time field validation - Accept None in gmtime/localtime/ctime (OptionalArg<Option<>>) - Fix StructTimeData field order: tm_zone before tm_gmtoff - Fix PyStructTime slot_new to accept optional dict argument

- Line 580: The error message uses the wrong function name: update the call to
checked_tm_from_struct_time in the ctime implementation so the third argument is
"ctime" (not "asctime"), ensuring checked_tm_from_struct_time(...) produces
correct error text for the ctime function; look for the call site in the ctime
function and replace the literal function-name argument accordingly.
- Around line 670-675: The current match on t.naive_or_local(vm) in the strftime
path swallows struct_time conversion errors and returns the raw format string
(using fmt_lossy), which hides user errors; instead propagate the conversion
error so callers get a proper exception like CPython does. Replace the Err(_) =>
return Ok(vm.ctx.new_str(...)) branch in the t.naive_or_local(vm) match with
propagation of the underlying error (or create and return an appropriate VM
error/Value) so that invalid struct_time inputs to the strftime implementation
raise rather than silently fall back.
- Around line 515-520: The non-Unix branch for localtime currently passes a
hardcoded 0 for tm_isdst (see secs.naive_or_local and
StructTimeData::new_local), which incorrectly claims DST is off; change this to
derive the DST flag from the chrono datetime if possible (compute whether the
local datetime is in DST and pass that value into StructTimeData::new_local as
tm_isdst) or, if accurate DST detection is not feasible, pass -1 to indicate
unknown DST instead of 0 so non-Unix platforms don't falsely report "not DST".
- Around line 836-841: new_local currently calls
chrono::Local.from_local_datetime(&tm).unwrap(), which can panic for DST-gap
times; change it to handle the MappedLocalTime result like the non-Unix mktime
path by using .single().ok_or_else(...) (or otherwise map the none case to a
PyErr) and propagate the error (or change new_local to return PyResult<Self>) so
you don't unwrap; update the callsite or signature accordingly and then pass the
resultant offset_seconds and tz_abbr into Self::new_inner as before.

isdst is hardcoded to 0 in non-Unix localtime, ignoring DST.
CPython's localtime sets tm_isdst based on whether DST is in effect. Passing 0 unconditionally means non-Unix platforms will never report DST. You can derive it from chrono:
Proposed fix sketch
#[cfg(not(unix))]
- {
- Ok(StructTimeData::new_local(vm, instant, 0))
- }
+ {
+ let local_dt = chrono::Local
+ .from_local_datetime(&instant)
+ .single()
+ .ok_or_else(|| vm.new_overflow_error("localtime argument out of range"))?;
+ // chrono doesn't directly expose DST, but offset difference can indicate it
+ let isdst = -1; // unknown; or compute from offset vs standard offset
+ Ok(StructTimeData::new_local(vm, instant, isdst))
+ }At minimum, pass -1 (unknown) instead of 0 (definitely not DST) to be honest about the limitation.

Wrong function name in error message: "asctime" should be "ctime".
checked_tm_from_struct_time uses the third argument to construct error messages (e.g. "{func_name}(): illegal time tuple argument"). This call site is inside ctime, not asctime.

Non-Unix strftime silently swallows invalid struct_time errors.
CPython raises ValueError/TypeError for invalid struct_time arguments in strftime. Catching the error here and returning the raw format string is incorrect—it hides real user errors and deviates from CPython semantics.
Proposed fix: propagate the error
- // If the struct_time can't be represented as NaiveDateTime
- // (e.g. month=0), return the format string as-is, matching
- // the fallback behavior for unsupported chrono formats.
- let instant = match t.naive_or_local(vm) {
- Ok(dt) => dt,
- Err(_) => return Ok(vm.ctx.new_str(fmt_lossy.into_owned()).into()),
- };

unwrap() on from_local_datetime can panic during DST gaps.
from_local_datetime returns MappedLocalTime which is None for times that fall in a DST gap (e.g. 2:30 AM on spring-forward day). Compare with the mktime non-Unix path (line 536) which correctly uses .single().ok_or_else(...).
Proposed fix

- let local_time = chrono::Local.from_local_datetime(&tm).unwrap();
+ let local_time = chrono::Local
+ .from_local_datetime(&tm)
+ .single()
+ .unwrap_or_else(|| chrono::Local.from_local_datetime(&tm).latest().unwrap());
let offset_seconds = local_time.offset().local_minus_utc();Alternatively, make new_local return PyResult<Self> and propagate the error.
