Yes, the datetime api once timezone is involved is quite bad in python.
This is why for anything that uses timezone, I use pendulum: https://pendulum.eustace.io/
It's compatible with the datetime api, but it has sane default, nice tools to convert between timezone, some cool date adjustment stuff, and can humanize time in several languages.
Basically, datetime has the same problem as text vs raw bytes in python 2.7, except it has never been fixed.
> All this stuff would be a lot easier if timezones always had to be stated explicitly.
On Java, you can use the forbidden-apis build plugin (https://github.com/policeman-tools/forbidden-apis) to fail the build whenever a timezone or locale or charset is not specified explicitly (it forbids the methods from the Java API which use an implicit timezone/locale/charset). I don't know whether there's something similar for Python; it might be harder because Python is much more dynamic (though it might be possible to use monkeypatching to warn whenever the bad methods are used).
