Date and time in python

CONCEPT version

Always work in UTC and use date / datetime aware instances

e.g. python 3 datetime.utcfromtimestamp(0).timestamp() --> -3600 # datetime instance has no timezone and python fallback on OS timezone

datetime.utcnow() is also timezone unaware use datetime.utc(tz=timezone.utc)

datetime.strptime("1970-0101T00:00:00", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S) is also timezone unaware use datetime.strptime("1970-0101T00:00:00", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S).replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc)
