django中的日期时间显示和时区转换

Question

in settings.py file:

TIME_ZONE = 'UTC' 
USE_TZ = True

in models.py:

from django.utils import timezone

date = models.DateTimeField(default = timezone.now())

before pip install pytz，date field in mysql db stored as UTC time, and date in front end webpage display as localtime. but after pip install pytz,date field in mysql db stored as UTC time, at the same time date in front end webpage display as UTC time too.

What is the reason for this? How to do make sure that after pip install pytz，date field in mysql db stored as UTC time, and date in front end webpage display as localtime? BTW, which library is more easily done than pytz?

Answer 1

Just change your TIME_ZONE setting to your local time's pytz .

eg

TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Dubai'
