Description

timezone.localtime is documented not to accept naive datetimes, however, it does on Python ≥ 3.6, cf. a7a7ecd2b026c61a39a46d2d7eced0e06a92c970.

For the sake of consistency across Python versions, I think it would be best to implement one of the following two options:

  1. maintain the current API, check for naive datetimes and raise an exception,
  2. accept naive datetimes, convert them to aware datetimes with a warning (like Django does in other places) and update the documentation accordingly.

See ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/7134#issuecomment-241388846 for a longer discussion of option 2.
