#2447: [patch] Experimental time zone support for date and time fields, database
backend utilities
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------

Severity: normal | Keywords: timezone, time zone, UTC
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
The attached patch attempts to improve Django's support for time zones.
Specifically, it modifies the date and time fields so that they return
str(self.data), which will yield an ISO 8601 formatted date, but with a
space separator instead of a T. That format will include a time zone
offset using the [+-]HH:MM format if the underlying datetime object is not
naive. That format is understood by most databases.
It also modifies the function typecast_timestamp from db.backend.util such
that it will try to parse time zone offsets. If no such format is found,
it will still produce a non-naive datetime object, set in the current time
zone.
