Pendulum is a Python library designed to simplify working with dates and times, often serving as a more developer-friendly and robust replacement for Python's built-in datetime module. You should use Pendulum whenever your application involves timezone handling, complex arithmetic, or serialization/parsing of date strings, as it provides clear, unambiguous, and efficient methods for these tasks.

A Python datetime object is considered timezone-aware if its tzinfo attribute is set, and timezone-naive if tzinfo is None. Removing timezone information, or "making it naive," is the process of setting this attribute to None.

The key consideration when stripping the timezone is which time value you want to keep: the time as it was originally represented, or the time converted to a standard reference (like UTC or local time) before stripping the timezone.
