[Fixed]-Values() returns datetime with tzinfo = UTC in default, can I change the default timezone before calling values()?

When you use timezone.now() it’s using the zone define in the settings.py by default but you can change it, see the documentation about selecting the current time zone.

You have 3 choices:

  • MIDDLEWARE
  • View
  • Template

Don’t forget to install pytz for using midlleware or view : pip install pytz. Else if you to do it in the template:

{% load tz %}

{% timezone "Europe/Paris" %}
    Paris time: {{ value }}
{% endtimezone %}

{% timezone None %}
    Server time: {{ value }}
{% endtimezone %}
