Error in makemigrations while changing DateTimeField default value from timezone aware datetime to naive datetime.now()

[shahzebiam]

I have a DateTimeField in a model in models.py which i have given a default value of django.utils.timezone.now(). When i changed the default value to datetime.datetime.now() and ran the makemigrations command, it gave me an error in autodetector.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

    if old_field_dec != new_field_dec:
TypeError: can't compare offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes

as far as i know it is trying to compare a timezone aware date with a simple datetime which will not be possible for datetime objects.
