The {% now %} template tag does not use time zones

Description

Current django-trunk now tag uses datatime.now() instead of timezone.now().
I've made patch to fix that, but I'd really like to have some help with writing test.

Here's my fork over on github:

To clarify the issue:

Dates that are coming from Django (when using USE_TZ = True) should be presented in users current time zone.

That means this should true (regardless of time zone used):

with timezone.override('Europe/Warsaw'):
    assert Template('{% now "H:m:s" %}').render(Context()) == timezone.localtime(timezone.now()).strftime('%H:%M:%S')

Currently user is presented with date localized to default time zone.
