[Fixed]-Issues with time formats in django

Have you tried using a timezone aware datetime? e.g.

datetime.datetime(2013, 11, 20, 20, 8, 7, 127325, tzinfo=<UTC>)

You can make it like this:

import pytz
timezone_aware_time = pytz.timezone('UTC').localize(datetime.datetime(2013, 11, 20, 20, 8, 7, 127325))

To get your string into a compliant format and then give it a timezone, do this:

import datetime from datetime
datetime.strptime('2016-1-5T5:00:00', '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')

So, altogether:

import pytz
import datetime from datetime
timezone_aware_time = pytz.timezone('UTC').localize(datetime.strptime('2016-1-5T5:00:00', '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S'))

For reference, auto_now is in timezone UTC.
