I agree my quick get-this-working-asap hack is most likely not the ideal
solution. I was going to suggest somehow getting time info and figuring
out a pytz-compatible timezone from there, but
[https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/856 this GitHub issue] does not
give me confidence that this can be done.
''Perhaps'' it would be okay to change `return
pytz.timezone(settings.TIME_ZONE)` to `return pytz.timezone('UTC' if
settings.TIME_ZONE == 'Msft' else settings.TIME_ZONE)` instead? Maybe also
print out a warning on startup.
