detecting user timezones in model

I need to get user timezones in order to convert a naive datetime to local time. However it's for an admin view, so it looks like I'm pretty much stuck fitting this into the model. request.session.get('django_timezone') is not available in the model, so how can you detect the timezone?

You should store the user's timezone on their profile, then access it with:

tz = some_user.get_profile().timezone

For more about Django user profiles, see: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#storing-additional-information-about-users
