I just looked through the datetime documentation, and it looks like the currently blessed way of creating an aware datetime from a naive local datetime and a tzinfo is datetime.replace, which is too low level to handle the job.

Not quite. That's how you would create a UTC datetime, but from there you can get to your local timezone by calling astimezone() with no arguments:

>>> print(datetime.now(timezone.utc).astimezone())
