Environment: Win 7 (64-bit) + Cygwin (64-bit) + Django 1.6.5
Current time in Windows system: 2014-11-17 16:25 HKT
If I create a project and run it under Cygwin, I get the following
{{{
$ django-admin.py startproject foobar
$ cd foobar/
$ python manage.py runserver
Validating models...
0 errors found
November 17, 2014 - 08:26:10
Django version 1.6.5, using settings 'foobar.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
}}}
Note the time is around '''8:30 in the morning'''!!!
And if I switch to Windows and run the exact same project I just created,
I get:
{{{
D:\cygwin64\home\Administrator\foobar>python manage.py runserver
Validating models...
0 errors found
November 17, 2014 - 16:29:10
Django version 1.6.5, using settings 'foobar.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.
}}}
This time it correctly shows the local time.
'''EDIT:'''
Here is an excerpt of {{{settings.py}}} generated by {{{django-admin.py
startproject foobar}}} command.
{{{
TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'
USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = True
USE_TZ = True
}}}
