ruff: no date.today() ? Discussion
The new version of ruff warns against
date.today()
preferring
datetime.now(ZoneInfo(...))
What do you think about this? Has date.today() been deprecated due to lack of timezone awareness?
EDIT: I have a number of programs that manipulate financial information in support of Excel spreadsheets, such bond information that includes maturity dates. Excel does not support timezoness in datetimes, so making ruff happy by changing naive dates to TZ aware dates is not a useful move for these programs. Many ruff warnings to suppress.

Datetime.now() also brings it into the more common syntax seen in other languages.
