Does that mean that if aware `datetime` is converted to `date` and then back, the tzinfo information is lost and object implicitly becomes naive?
Yes, but one cannot convert "back" from date to datetime. To get a datetime object, one needs to combine date and time and tzinfo is attached to the time component.
