Description
Python's `datetime.datetime` type contains timezone info in the `tzinfo` attribute that gets lost when converting to julia's `DateTime`. It might be better to use `ZonedDateTime` if `tzinfo` is populated.

Research direction
Start by tracing PyCall.jl's conversion handling for Python datetime.datetime and Julia DateTime. Check how a populated tzinfo should map to ZonedDateTime, while preserving behavior for datetimes without timezone information; the issue is done when timezone data is no longer lost and the conversion behavior is covered by tests.
