djangotimezoneutils 0.15.0

django-timezone-utils adds automatic time zone conversions and support
utilities to Django.
Suggestions, constructive criticism, and feedback are certainly
welcomed and appreciated.

Documentation
Documentation for django-timezone-utils is available at Read the Docs.

Inspiration
On multiple occasions, I have had the need to store time zone information to the
one model, then base another model’s datetime on that time zone. If you have
ever had to deal with this, you will know how complicated this can be.
I created these fields to ease the process of manipulating times based on
another field’s or models timezone choice. Instead of having to remember to use
Model.clean, we can now create the models with the validation built
into the model field.

Quick Example
from datetime import datetime
from timezone_utils.fields import LinkedTZDateTimeField, TimeZoneField
from timezone_utils.choices import PRETTY_ALL_TIMEZONES_CHOICES

class Location(models.Model):
# ...
timezone = TimeZoneField(choices=PRETTY_ALL_TIMEZONES_CHOICES)

def get_location_timezone(obj):
"""Returns the Location.timezone field from above"""

return obj.location.timezone

class LocationReport(models.Model):
# ...
location = models.ForeignKey('app_label.Location', related_name='reports')

# Populates from the Location.timezone
timestamp = LinkedTZDateTimeField(populate_from=get_location_timezone)

class LocationPeriod(models.Model):
# ...
location = models.ForeignKey('app_label.Location', related_name='periods')

# Sets the time to 12:00am in the location.timezone
start = LinkedTZDateTimeField(
populate_from=get_location_timezone,
time_override=datetime.min.time()
)

# Sets the time to 11:59:59.99999pm in the location.timezone
end = LinkedTZDateTimeField(
populate_from=get_location_timezone,
time_override=datetime.max.time()
)
