I have just submitted a proposal on Trac <http:// code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10587> regarding how Django should handle datetimes.
Quick summary: 1. PostgreSQL should not have time zone set, or have time zone set to 'UTC'. 2. Django should store all datetime on DB backends as '''naive UTC''' datetime. 3. `settings.TIME_ZONE` becomes a site-wide runtime typecast directive. This way `settings.TIME_ZONE` can be optional if someone doesn't care about time zones in their application. In that case it feels more natural to operate in the timezone of the server hosting Django. I chose to post it to Trac because of formatting issues, so a more thorough description is there: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10587> -- George --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
