The execution speed comparison between Pendulum and the default Python datetime module is generally straightforward: The built-in datetime module is significantly faster than Pendulum for basic operations.

This difference is due to how the two libraries are implemented and what they prioritize.

Pendulum is a Python library designed to simplify working with dates and times, often serving as a more developer-friendly and robust replacement for Python's built-in datetime module. You should use Pendulum whenever your application involves timezone handling, complex arithmetic, or serialization/parsing of date strings, as it provides clear, unambiguous, and efficient methods for these tasks.
