Handling Timezone Aware Datetime Objects in Django 4.0 with PostgreSQL
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with I'm performance testing and I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer... I'm working on a Django 4.0 application with a PostgreSQL database, and I'm having trouble saving timezone-aware datetime objects correctly. I have a model where one of the fields is a DateTimeField that should store timezone-aware timestamps. When I try to save a datetime object created with `pytz` for timezone handling, it seems to save the naive version instead. Here's the relevant model code: ```python from django.db import models import pytz from datetime import datetime class Event(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) event_time = models.DateTimeField() ``` When I create an instance of this model, I'm converting the naive datetime to an aware datetime like this: ```python def create_event(name, event_time_naive): local_tz = pytz.timezone('America/New_York') event_time_aware = local_tz.localize(event_time_naive) event = Event(name=name, event_time=event_time_aware) event.save() ``` However, when I check the database, the stored value for `event_time` appears to be naive. I get this behavior when trying to compare it with aware datetime objects later: ``` ValueError: naive and aware datetimes want to be compared ``` I’ve confirmed that the `USE_TZ` setting in Django is set to `True`, but I'm unsure why the values are not being saved as expected. I've also tried debugging with `print(event.event_time)` before saving, and it shows the correct aware datetime. Am I missing something in the configuration, or is there a specific way I should be handling these datetimes when saving to PostgreSQL? This is part of a larger web app I'm building. Any advice would be much appreciated. This is my first time working with Python stable.
