Question

I’m confused on datetime comparison with Django datetime field, here is the code

now = datetime.now()
delta = talk.when + timedelta(minutes=(talk.duration + 10))
if now > delta:
    return True
return False

talk is just datetime field,
duration is integer field

now – should have hours equal to 17:43 however I’ve 5:43 (datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 14, 5, 43, 24, 228401))

What is the problem, whats wrong in the code?

Now it works

I just added USER_ENV_TZ variable with my local timezone and used utcnow

if os.getenv('ENV_USER_TZ', None):
    TIME_ZONE = os.getenv('ENV_USER_TZ') # changed to UTC

Thanks,
