Hi Arthur,

The error message is about "timezone-aware times", not "timezone-aware 
datetimes". Your code must be creating a timezone-aware time object 
somewhere. This is quite a pathological type and it isn't supported by 
Django.

This limitation is briefly mentioned at the bottom of this 
section: 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/timezones/#naive-and-aware-datetime-objects

Sorry for the late answer,

If what you did in that machine is upgrade to Django 1.4 from an older version
then you might be victim of a problem because of whcih the files form the
previous installation aren't overwritten and you end with a broken mix of
things.

The documentation has recently been [1]amended with instructions on how
to avoid this. Please use the [2]updated section in the relevant document.

Time zone support enabled in Django 1.4, yet "Django does not support timezone-aware times"

[Arthur]

Hello,

I recently upgraded one of my machines to Django 1.4 to patch a bug related 
to the use of PostGIS 9.1. I read the documentation on the new support for 
time zones and added USE_TZ=True to my settings.py file. Nonetheless, when 
I attempt to load data into my PostGIS database in one of the following 
ways, I receive a ValueError: Django does not support timezone-aware times. 
The full traceback is posted at the end.

In the clean() method of my model:
self.datetime = datetime.datetime.combine(self.date, 
self.time).replace(tzinfo=UTC())

Or in the handle() method of a Command instance:
data_dict['datetime'] = datetime.datetime.combine(data_dict['date'], 
data_dict['time']).replace(tzinfo=UTC())

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
