# incorrect because started with naive datetime object
datetime.utcnow().astimezone(timezone('US/Pacific'))
# correct because add/replace tzinfo of initial dt-obj before conversion to desired tz
# SEE article link above. The following is probably correct only bc starting w/ utc.

# confirmation: aware dt-obj
