The premise of this issue is factually incorrect: > ISO 8601, which states that, if no timezone is specified, > the string is supposed to be interpreted as UTC implicitly. The opposite is true: "If no UTC relation information is given with a time representation, the time is assumed to be in local time." <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601> To get timezone specification included in isoformat() output - use aware datetime objects: >>> from datetime import * >>> datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat() '2015-01-27T18:27:33.216857+00:00'

The premise of this issue is factually incorrect:

> ISO 8601, which states that, if no timezone is specified,
> the string is supposed to be interpreted as UTC implicitly.

The opposite is true: "If no UTC relation information is given with a time representation, the time is assumed to be in local time." <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601>

To get timezone specification included in isoformat() output - use aware datetime objects:

>>> from datetime import *
>>> datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat()
