`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.
