I'm not understanding timezone

[Hancock, David (DHANCOCK)]

Title: I'm not understanding timezone

Django 0.95, on RedHat Linux (enterprise 3.0), Python 2.4.2, server timezone is GMT (UTC, UCT, Zulu, whatever your favorite name is).

No matter what I set the time_zone to in settings.py, the behavior of the Now button in the Admin for a DateTimeField doesn’t change. When I click it (and when a date displays) it’s my local timezone (Eastern).

The behavior I’m hoping to get is that the time display exactly as stored, and they be stored as GMT times. The Now button should insert the current GMT time (4 hours ahead of Easter). The site I’m working on supports aviation, and pretty much all times are thought and entered in GMT.

I read the documentation section about timezone, and Googled around a bit, but still don’t understand how to the the desired behavior.

I’d be grateful for some hints, other documentation to read, etc.  Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
