[Bug 2084468] [NEW] Deprecation warning for datetime.utcnow() is incorrect

[Simon Lambourn]

Public bug reported:

Very minor correction to the deprecation warning:  Currently it states:

DeprecationWarning: datetime.datetime.utcnow() is deprecated and
scheduled for removal in a future version. Use timezone-aware objects to
represent datetimes in UTC: datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC)


However the tz parameter of datetime.datetime.now is keyword only, so the recommendation should be 

datetime.datetime.now(tz=datetime.UTC)


Hope this might save a few mins for others!
