Replying to [comment:4 aaugustin]:
> As explained in the documentation, you must set TIME_ZONE to the name of
the HKT time zone in the tz database. Windows doesn't support doing things
in a time zone that isn't the system time zone.
>
> Cygwin appears not to suffer from this limitation and manages to run
your project in UTC as required by your settings file.
I got it. I mistook the note as you must explicitly set {{{TIME_ZONE}}} in
windows. Thanks a lot.
