Python: it is now() time to migrate from utcnow()

Read Original

The article discusses the deprecation of Python's datetime.utcnow() method in version 3.12, as it returns a naive (non-timezone-aware) datetime object. It explains the issue, shows the new recommended approach using datetime.now(timezone.utc), and advises developers to start migrating their code immediately for a smoother upgrade path.
