Description
This PR addresses compatibility with Django 5.0 and above.
In Django 5.0, django.utils.timezone.utc has been removed as noted in the official release notes. To ensure forward compatibility—particularly with the upcoming upgrade to Django 5.2—this PR replaces usage of timezone.utc with
datetime.timezone.utcfrom Python’s standard library.This change prevents
AttributeErrorand ensures the codebase remains compatible with newer versions of Django.Release Notes Link:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/releases/5.0/#:~:text=django.utils.timezone.utc
Reference PR: rq/django-rq#610
Since django.utils.timezone.utc was merely an alias and has been removed in Django 5.0, replacing it with datetime.timezone.utc from the standard library is the recommended and compatible approach.
