Compatibility¶

This project exposes mappingtools._compat.UTC as a stable UTC tzinfo object that works across Python versions. On Python 3.11+ it maps to datetime.UTC; on earlier versions it maps to datetime.timezone.utc.

Use it in your code or tests when you need a timezone-aware UTC datetime:

from mappingtools._compat import UTC
from datetime import datetime

dt = datetime.now(tz=UTC)
