Hi all, I have a number of questions on Django 1.4's Time Zones.
1] Migration of non-UTC to UTC: is there any script / best practice available? Django's documentation mentions that all data should be converted to UTC when switching to USE_TZ=True. See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/timezones/#other-databases This is a rather concise remark. Are there any scripts/tricks available to do this in "one go", and to be able to easily do the same conversion in development and production. As asked here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10994101/django-1-4-use-tz-migration-database-part-best-practices 2] The meaning of Queryset filtering: am I correct to understand that operations on the DB are now always interpreted in UTC? I.e. any direct comparisons to datetime? But also the __month __year quasi-fields? This does not appear to be documented explicitly anywhere, at least not in the queryset documentation itself. And should we not consider this a bug since a naive use of these is explained in almost every single Django beginners toturial? 3] Since date and datetime are radically different concepts (respectively a point in time and a calendaring concept) what is the meaning of auto_now and auto_now_add on a DateField? Is the current Timezone or the default Timezone used? Should this not be documented? Ciao! Klaas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
