Returns an aware :class:`~datetime.datetime` that represents the same
point in time as ``value`` in ``timezone``, ``value`` being a naive
:class:`~datetime.datetime`. If ``timezone`` is set to ``None``, it
defaults to the :ref:`current time zone <default-current-time-zone>`.
- This function can raise an exception if ``value`` doesn't exist or is
- ambiguous because of DST transitions.
+ When pytz_ is installed, the exception ``pytz.AmbiguousTimeError``
+ will be raised if you try to make ``value`` aware during a DST transition
+ where the same time occurs twice (when reverting from DST). Setting
+ ``is_dst`` to ``True`` or ``False`` will avoid the exception by choosing if
+ the time is pre-transition or post-transition respectively.

+ When pytz_ is installed, the exception ``pytz.NonExistentTimeError``
+ will be raised if you try to make ``value`` aware during a DST transition
+ such that the time never occurred (when entering into DST). Setting
+ ``is_dst`` to ``True`` or ``False`` will avoid the exception by moving the
+ hour backwards or forwards by 1 respectively. For example, ``is_dst=True``
+ would change a non-existent time of 2:30 to 1:30 and ``is_dst=False``
+ would change the time to 3:30.
