not necessarily the timezone of the server. For example, one server may serve

Configuring Django in this fashion is mostly necessary -- and, indeed,
recommended -- when you are using a piece of the Django framework inside a
larger application. Consequently, when configured via
``settings.configure()``, Django will not make any modifications to the
process environment (see the explanation of ``TIME_ZONE``, above, for why this
would normally occur). It is assumed that you are already in full control of
your environment in these cases and have configured your environment as
required in some other fashion.
