Django Timezone Aware Dates

UPDATE: Looks like this shortcut method does the same thing (as long as USE_TZ = True in your settings):

from django.utils import timezone

timezone.now()

view raw
basics.py

The following will create a timezone-aware datetime object:

import datetime

from django.utils.timezone import utc

now = datetime.datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=utc)
