To be fair, “You need to install ‘pytz’ to work correctly with date and
time values” is correct advice. If the OP doesn't install it early, then
works with timestamps, problems are inevitable — at which point “oh, you
needed to do that first” will be inevitable. It's lose–lose.

It's a sad fact that MS Windows has completely useless timezone support,
and this “install a third-party package” hurdle is a cost that is paid
by all people trying to set up Python on MS Windows.
