How To Get The Local TIme In Models.DateTimeField() In Django?

Question

I was trying to get the local time in the models section of my models.py file in Django. But this function returns the server time which is about 5 hours less than my local time, so, how do I get this correct?

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

Thanks In Advance!

Answer 1

On the settings.py, you set the timezone to your timezone.

eg

TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Manila'

You can check the list of time zones here

Answer 2

Go in your settings.py and make changes

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us'

TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Karachi'    # Change it to your location

USE_I18N = True

USE_L10N = True

USE_TZ = True
