        This package provides a drop-in replacement of SQLAlchemy's built-in `DateTime`_
        type with ``timezone=True`` option enabled.  Although SQLAlchemy's built-in
        ``DateTime`` type provides ``timezone=True`` option, since some vendors like
        SQLite and MySQL don't provide ``timestamptz`` data type, the option doesn't
        make any effect on these vendors.
        
        ``UtcDateTime`` type is equivalent to the built-in ``DateTime`` with
        ``timezone=True`` option enabled on vendors that support ``timestamptz``
        e.g. PostgreSQL, but on SQLite or MySQL, it shifts all ``datetime.datetime``
        values to UTC offset before store them, and returns always aware
        ``datetime.datetime`` values through result sets.
        
        Long story short, ``UtcDateTime`` does:
        
        - take only aware ``datetime.datetime``,
        - return only aware ``datetime.datetime``,
        - never take or return naive ``datetime.datetime``,
        - ensure timestamps in database always to be encoded in UTC, and
        - work as you'd expect.
        
        A SQLAlchemy helper function, ``utcnow()``, is provided as an alternative
        to ``func.now()`` for generating ``UtcDateTime`` values on the server. For
        example: ``Column('time', UtcDateTime(), default=utcnow())``.
