Honestly yeah who in tarnation created that function and called it utcnow These things are really frustrating

  Yeah, utcnow is completely broken. They should have fixed it when they created datetime.timezone.utc, but they didn't. The recommendation is to use datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc) instead. utcnow should be deprecated and eventually removed.

    I recently learned that there is datetime.UTC which is an alias of datetime.timezone.utc It helps a bit with the verbosity: from datetime import datetime, UTC datetime.now(UTC)
