Comment (by charettes):

 From the
 [http://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html?highlight=datetime#module-
 datetime datetime documentation].

 ''There are two kinds of date and time objects: “naive” and “aware”.''

 ''An aware object has sufficient knowledge of applicable algorithmic and
 political time adjustments, such as time zone and daylight saving time
 information,to locate itself relative to other aware objects. An aware
 object is used to represent a specific moment in time that is not open to
 interpretation..''

 ''A naive object does not contain enough information to unambiguously
 locate itself relative to other date/time objects. Whether a naive object
 represents Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), local time, or time in some
 other timezone is purely up to the program, just like it’s up to the
 program whether a particular number represents metres, miles, or mass.
 Naive objects are easy to understand and to work with, at the cost of
 ignoring some aspects of reality.''
