Python 3.12 update, datetime.utcnow() deprecation

[BerglundDaniel]

It seems that Python 3.12 will work mostly directly for us. The only thing we need to update is that datetime.datetime.utcnow() has warnings about being deprecated

[emanuelen5]

@coderabbitai Do you have any suggestions how to fix the issue? And where in the code do we use utcnow?

@emanuelen5, I've found several occurrences of datetime.datetime.utcnow() in the codebase. Here are some of the files and locations where it is used:

• api/src/systest/api/box_terminator_test.py
• api/src/test_aid/test_base.py
• api/src/systest/api/change_phone_request_test.py (multiple occurrences)
• api/src/shop/transactions.py
• api/src/shop/pay.py (multiple occurrences)
• api/src/service/traffic_logger.py (multiple occurrences)
• api/src/service/entity.py
• api/src/service/auth.py (multiple occurrences)
• api/src/multiaccess/box_terminator.py (multiple occurrences)
• api/src/migrate.py
• api/src/init_db.py
• api/src/dispatch_emails.py (multiple occurrences)
• api/src/core/auth.py (multiple occurrences)
• api/src/change_phone_request.py (multiple occurrences)

Regarding the deprecation of datetime.datetime.utcnow(), you can replace it with datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc). This method provides the current UTC time with timezone awareness, which is the recommended approach in Python 3.12 and later.

Here's an example of how you can modify the code:

from datetime import datetime, timezone

# Replace this:
now = datetime.utcnow()

# With this:
now = datetime.now(timezone.utc)

You can apply this change throughout your codebase wherever datetime.datetime.utcnow() is used. If you need further assistance with this transition or have any more questions, feel free to ask!
