Description
datetime.utctime()
is being deprecated in python 3.12. This migrates to using fully timezone-aware TIMESTAMP columns in postgres, as well as a function for generating UTCdatetime
objects that are timezone aware.The DB still stores the timestamps internally as UTC times, but now the resulting
datetime
objects in the ORM will contain the timezone. This will also make interfacing with the client easier (ie, querying records based on times should work better if the user specifies a timezone)Changelog description
