Time zone doesn't work right under django_admin.py runserver

No problems with mod_python though

There's not enough information about what "doesn't work" (i.e. it works fine for me); please reopen with more data if you've got it.

I'm having the same problem (haven't checked with mod_python though).

I'm in New Zealand. If I set (in .settings.main)

TIME_ZONE = "NZDT" # (New Zealand Daylight-Saving Time)

or

TIME_ZONE = "Pacific/Auckland NZ"

The time is incorrectly reported (both by the server's status line, and by any objects with an "auto_now" or "auto_now_add") as 12 hours behind what it really is. Setting TIME_ZONE to "GTM-12" works correctly, but will unfortunately no longer work correctly during New Zealand's summer, when we move to daylight-saving time.

All of the above settings are listed in the Postgres document referenced in conf/global_settings.py.
