Why does datetime.datetime.utcnow() not contain timezone information?

Question

datetime.datetime.utcnow()

Why does this datetime not have any timezone info given that it is explicitly a UTC datetime?<

Answer 1

To add timezone information in Python 3.2+

import datetime

>>> d = datetime.datetime.now(tz=datetime.timezone.utc)
>>> print(d.tzinfo)
'UTC+00:00'

Answer 2

from datetime import datetime 
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta
d = datetime.now()
date = datetime.isoformat(d).split('.')[0]
d_month = datetime.today() + relativedelta(months=1)
next_month = datetime.isoformat(d_month).split('.')[0]

Answer 3

UTC dates don't need any timezone info since they're UTC, which by definition means that they have no offset.
