The primary use case is to interact with a third-party database (not primarily managed by Django) that doesn't support time zones and where datetimes are stored in local time when USE_TZ is True. Configuring a PostgreSQL database with the TIME_ZONE option while USE_TZ is False used to result in silent data corruption. Now this is an error.
The documentation in this tree is in plain text files and can be viewed using any text file viewer. It uses ReST (reStructuredText) [1], and the Sphinx documentation system [2]. This allows it to be built into other forms for easier viewing and browsing. To create an HTML version of the docs: * Install Sphinx (using ``pip install Sphinx`` or some other method) * In this docs/ directory, type ``make html`` (or ``make.bat html`` on Windows) at a shell prompt. The documentation in _build/html/index.html can then be viewed in a web browser. [1] http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html [2] http://sphinx-doc.org/
