When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

It's a common misconception that [William Shakespeare][1] and [Miguel de Cervantes][2] died on the same day in history - so much so that UNESCO named April 23 as [World Book Day because of this fact][3]. However because England hadn't yet adopted [Gregorian Calendar Reform][4] (and wouldn't until [1752][5]) their deaths are actually 10 days apart. Since Ruby's Time class implements a [proleptic Gregorian calendar][6] and has no concept of calendar reform then there's no way to express this. This is where DateTime steps in:

>> shakespeare = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ENGLAND)
=> Tue, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
>> cervantes = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ITALY)
=> Sat, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000

How to get the raw Twitter API JSON response from a Tweepy request. It provides a simple way to stash the parsed API request results for later use. It stores the parsed JSON in a _payload field in the returned API results, which can then be iterated over. Not as clean as I'd like, but it allows me to leverage all of Tweepy's API methods and stil…

Taken from my suggestion at:

Note that this is an incomplete snippet; you'll need to create the API auth object.
