Plugin to check that utcnow() is not used in favour of now(UTC)
Plugin for flake8 to warn the developer of the usage of datetime.utcnow().
The problem with datetme.utcnow() is that indeed returns the current timestamp in the UTC timzone but the object is a naive datetime, that is doesn't have the tzinfo argument set.
Instead [datetime.now()](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.utcnow] should be used passing the UTC timezone:
from datetime import datetime, timezone
datetime.now(timezone.utc)
To install the plugin and flake8:
pip install flake8_datetime_utcnow_plugin
