Hi from sunny New Zealand.
I'm playing around at writting a blog system, and there seems to be some
problems with the date and time handling.
Using plain old vanilla python on Freebsd, the time functions return
correct values. e.g.
{{{
[EMAIL PROTECTED] psc]# python
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Apr 24 2005, 12:02:35)
[GCC 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728] on freebsd5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os, datetime, time
>>> time.localtime()
(2006, 9, 2, 15, 42, 26, 5, 245, 0)
>>> time.gmtime()
(2006, 9, 2, 3, 42, 37, 5, 245, 0)
>>>
}}}
In my settings.py the timezone is set to TIME_ZONE = 'Pacific/Auckland
NZ'. But, alas, the time values produced under django are out, viz:
{{{
[EMAIL PROTECTED] psc]# python manage.py shell
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Apr 24 2005, 12:02:35)
[GCC 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728] on freebsd5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)
>>> import datetime, os, time
>>> time.localtime()
(2006, 9, 2, 3, 42, 57, 5, 245, 0)
>>> time.gmtime()
(2006, 9, 2, 3, 43, 16, 5, 245, 0)
}}}
Note the 12 hour differnce between the 15 and the 3.
Okay that shouldn't be too much of a problem but when django updates the
datebase (say by adding something through the admin interface) the date a
time on the object is something like "2006-09-02 15:24:00". In otherwords
the datebase is updated using the correct localtime.
And when django iterates over the objects using the generic views, because
it uses the incorrect localtime; it thinks that the objects date is 12
hours or so in the future and consequently doesn't include it (unless of
course, I set allow_future to True, which I don't want to do).
