While it would be ideal to have all datetime fields in databases and other data stores be time zone aware, that is certainly not the case. Also, SQLite (and probably others) do not have great support for time zones and it's recommended to store datetimes as UTC (typically unix timestamps).

Deprecating utcnow was a good idea, but they should have replaced it with naive_utcnow. Oh well.

Timezones are a disease and should be eradicated. I will die on this hill.

@BeardedGingerWonder will you adapt your time to be 7 hours later?

Thought so.
