Python: Remove invocations to deprecated datetime.utcfromtimestamp().
World: Make datetime handling like it's 2024.
Summary
This is a possible BREAKING CHANGE about returned Python datetime objects:
Removed the use of "naive" Python datetime objects, i.e. instances without tzinfo attribute set.
Details
When no time_zone information is specified when creating a database connection or cursor, datetime objects will now use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), like CrateDB is storing timestamp values in this format.
This update is coming from a deprecation of Python's datetime.utcfromtimestamp(), which is effectively also phasing out the use of "naive" timestamp objects in Python, in favor of using timezone-aware objects, also to represent datetimes in UTC. It may be a breaking change for some users of the library that don't expect to receive "aware" datetime objects from now on.
DeprecationWarning: datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp() is deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future version. Use timezone-aware objects to represent datetimes in UTC: datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp, datetime.UTC).
