Re: how to deploy an app that gets used by people in multiple time zones

Sorry for the delay in response - was on vacation for a few days. After reading up more on naive and aware timezones in python, this all makes more sense now. Thanks for your pointers, they were helpful. Margie On Sep 4, 9:03 am, Brian Neal wrote: > On Sep 4, 10:47 am,

I am using mysql. Can someone clarify what format dates and times are stored in when using just a standard DateTimeField? Is my timezone encoded in the database or is some generic, non-timezone-specific date/time stored? I don't understand why I would want to save my timezone along with my
