In Django 1.10 when sqlite is used and TIME_ZONE=None a django.db.utils.OperationalError error is raised when filtering by __date on a DateTimeField

[David Black]

In Django 1.10 when sqlite is used and TIME_ZONE=None a django.db.utils.OperationalError error is raised when filtering by date on a DateTimeField.

For example,

ExampleModel.objects.filter(created_date__date=a_date).exists()

I have created a test project on github to demonstrate this issue which can be found at ​https://github.com/dbaxa/django-sqlite-datetime-bug .

Creating test database for alias 'default'...

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

This issue does not affect Django 1.11 as it does not allow TIME_ZONE to be set to None.
