Just to clarify my problem - then I'll just happily use datetime.now(tzutc()).isoformat()
- There is datetime.now() which is supposed to be used (no utcnow() anymore)
- datetime.now() might return a naive object, when no TZ is specified
- *However* also the naive variant implements the class isoformat() which is described as "Return a string representing the date in ISO 8601 format"
- ISO 8601 can and should be understood such as the TZ-designator is required (I think we agreed on that).
- However isoformat() called on a naive object returns a string with no TZ designator
I would at least suggesting adding a note for isoformat() about being called on naive datetime objects.
