Description

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial02/#intro-tutorial02

Code part:

def was_published_today(self):
    return self.pub_date.date() == datetime.date.today()

This baffled me for some time - after adding anything I got false. The problem was with time zones - Django's settings.py had another time zone.

I would add a small comment in the documentation, or change datetime.date.today() to some function which respects time zone in settings.py.

In the tutorial, all the data should be created using Django, so all the data should have the same time zone. The tutorial has been run many times, by many people, in many time zones, and to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time this problem has been reported. Without more details to describe exactly what you did to generate this problem, I'm not sure what comment we should be adding.
