Description (last modified by wlnirvana)

Environment: Win 7 (64-bit) + Cygwin (64-bit) + Django 1.6.5
Current time in Windows system: 2014-11-17 16:25 HKT

If I create a project and run it under Cygwin, I get the following

$ django-admin.py startproject foobar
$ cd foobar/
$ python manage.py runserver
Validating models...

0 errors found
November 17, 2014 - 08:26:10
Django version 1.6.5, using settings 'foobar.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

Note the time is around 8:30 in the morning!!!

And if I switch to Windows and run the exact same project I just created, I get:

D:\cygwin64\home\Administrator\foobar>python manage.py runserver
Validating models...

0 errors found
November 17, 2014 - 16:29:10
Django version 1.6.5, using settings 'foobar.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.

This time it correctly shows the local time.

EDIT:
Here is an excerpt of settings.py generated by django-admin.py startproject foobar command.

 TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'

 USE_I18N = True

 USE_L10N = True

 USE_TZ = True
