"Note that I am not suggesting passing anything to utcnow(). I would either leave it unchanged or make it always return aware datetime instances." FYI, all other issues aside, having utcnow() (with no parameters) return a tzaware instance will introduce backward compatibility problems. As it is, users are not expecting utcnow to return a date-time with any tzinfo.
