Timezone and Confusion in Django

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/timezones/

1) We use USE_TZ = True in our settings. It means, that Django will use Time zone aware datetime objects.
so, instead of doing this,

import datetimecur = datetime.datetime.now() # which doesnt give us tzinfo

we should use this -

import datetimefrom django.utils.timezone import utc

cur = datetime.datetime.now().replace(tzinfo=utc) # Note: This is for timezone aware not for local time

This will remove the warnings we usually see, "Datetimefield received a naive datetime."

2) For converting local time into current time zone,  according to one specified in settings file. We should use this

from django.utils import timezonetimezone.localtime(timezone.now())
