Python complains that "time" is naive, while it is truly aware. Error?

Question

Ok, with Python 2.7, first create two objects timeusing timezones from pytz (2014.07):

from datetime import time
import pytz

t1 = time(tzinfo=pytz.timezone('UTC'))
t2 = time(tzinfo=pytz.timezone('CET'))

Carefully check that they both know:

print(t1.tzinfo, t2.tzinfo)
# (<UTC>, <DstTzInfo 'CET' CET+1:00:00 STD>)

Therefore, then we can compare them. Let me do this:

t1 == t2
# TypeError: can't compare offset-naive and offset-aware 

Why is this happening despite the fact that they both know?

It seems like a special case for Python 2.7 objects and timewhen handling time zones with zero offset:

• Works great with Python 3.4
• If replaced 'UTC'by 'EET'- works great
• If I replaced 'UTC'with 'GMT'- still failed
• If replaced timeby datetime- excellent (!)
