Specifically in the official 'polls' tutorial from the docs.  

In the 'mysite.settings.py' file.  I changed from 'UTC'  to  'PST' and 'pst' and both faulted. thanks.

UTC is a unique timezone independent of any country. It is associated exclusively with zero degrees of longitude. It means universal constant time.

You need to research the correct standard code for the timezone you are interested in.
