sexytime is a replacement for stdlib's datetime module. It replaces datetime.datetime.{now,utcnow} with functions that are guaranteed to return UTC timezone aware datetime objects.
The module behaves identical to stdlib's datetime:
>>> from sexytime import datetime >>> datetime.utcnow() datetime.datetime(2011, 8, 16, 22, 24, 26, 116079, tzinfo=<UTC>)
You can also completely replace the datetime by monkey patching it. This requires you to execute it before you import datetime submodules elsewhere:
import sexytime.monkey sexytime.monkey.patch()
