Django / Python and daylight saving time

[Jean-Luc]

It seems Django don't know daylight saving time

my settings.py :
...
# Local time zone for this installation. All choices can be found here:
#
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datetime-keywords.html#DATETIME-TIMEZONE-SET-TABLE
TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/Paris'
...

E:\applis\budget>time
L'heure actuelle est : 19:17:58,31
Entrez la nouvelle heure :

E:\applis\budget>manage.py runserver
Validating models...
0 errors found.

Django version 0.96-pre, using settings 'budget.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.
[13/Nov/2006 18:20:03] "GET /budget/2006/08/ HTTP/1.1" 200 35683

It seems to me runserver prints summer time

Has anyone ever notice that ?

Thank you all

I dont know why it would use anything other than the system time... Is
the timezone set correctly on your machine?

I've noticed it always prints out GMT time for me, no matter what the
value I use for TIME_ZONE.

For instance, it's set to the default 'America/Chicago' right now. I
put this in my template:

{% now "Y-m-d H:m:s" %}

It returns:

2006-11-14 15:49:52

My time is actually 07:49:52 - it's 8 hours off which makes sense
because I'm in PST (-08:00). What am I doing wrong?

thx

Your system clock is probably wrong also. Mine works fine.

My system clock claims it's on the right time. That's what I'm using
in the above example - 07:49:52 came from the clock in the windows task
bar. However, Django always says it's GMT, no matter what timezone I
set in the settings.py file. It happens on my home computer and my
work computer. Both computers are running python 2.4.4 . One is
running django from the trunk, the other from 0.95.

I remember a while back there was a spate of problems with correctly
setting the time-zone environment variable on Windows; I'll dig a bit
through old tickets tonight and see if I can find anything relevant.

time is a DOS command
and it renders the good time, same time i can show under Windows

but Django runserver renders summer time, or GMT ?

I believe #2315 is the ticket your looking for. It is windows
specific. Be sure to read through the comments to the end.

The problem is specifically with the development server. Add "import
time" to django/conf/__init__.py and see if it fixes it for you.

Please report if that solves your problem in the above mentioned ticket
(http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2315) - if multiple people have
tested and can confirm the fix, it's more likely to get applied.
