False positive: unexpected-keyword-arg, timespec in isoformat calls of DateTimeField values

[koniiiik]

Here's a weird corner case that I've run into in our code base, where if a model instance is created through direct instantiation, subsequent calls to isoformat with a timespec are flagged, even though this works fine when instantiating through ModelClass.objects.create(). Here's an example (settings.py is an empty file):

$ cat datetimefield.py
# pylint: disable=C
from django.db import models


class A(models.Model):
    field = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)


x = A()
x.save()
x.field.isoformat(timespec='seconds')

y = A.objects.create()
y.field.isoformat(timespec='seconds')

$ pylint --load-plugins=pylint_django --django-settings-module=settings datetimefield.py 
************* Module datetimefield
datetimefield.py:11:0: E1123: Unexpected keyword argument 'timespec' in method call (unexpected-keyword-arg)

And I can also add another case that triggers the same false positive – methods on the model class itself:

class A(models.Model):
    field = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    def b(self):
        return self.field.isoformat(timespec='seconds')

I have encountered the same issue. Some more observations:

from django.db import models
from datetime import UTC

class A(models.Model):
    field = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    def b(self):
        self.field.replace(year=2001) # ok
        self.field.replace(month=1) # ok
        self.field.replace(day=1) # ok
        self.field.replace(hour=1) # unexpected-keyword-arg
        self.field.replace(second=1) # unexpected-keyword-arg
        self.field.replace(microsecond=1)  # unexpected-keyword-arg
        self.field.replace(tzinfo=UTC)  # unexpected-keyword-arg
        self.field.replace(fold=0)  # unexpected-keyword-arg
        self.field.today() # ok

The issue was encountered with python 3.11.7
I can not reproduce it with python 3.12.5
