Comment (by aaugustin):
`USE_TZ = True` is in the default settings files (for a good reason) and
we want to keep Django usable without having to learn pip / virtualenv
first (also for a good reason). I went to great lengths to ensure that
pytz wouldn't be a mandatory.
I think it's more promising to raise a more explicit error in this case,
ie. "value outside of supported range, please install pytz".
