Django shows datetime different then system datetime

When i check "datetime.today().date()" in my views.py i get yesterday's date.

But when I check the date from linux system with "date" command i get today's date. I think Django is not updating current date. I have to get current date in the view to make some comparisons, also to print into the view.

I am using Python 2.7 and Django 1.9.

def assistant_page(request, assistant=None):
    notes = AssistantNotes.objects.filter(notedate=datetime.today().date()).order_by("time")
    file_write(datetime.today().date())
    if request.method == 'GET':    
        return render(request, "assistant_page.html", {'generalnotes': notes})

Django uses it's own timezone. you can set it in your settings.py:

TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/london'

this change your whole project timezone. Another way is to use pytz lib. every datetime object has method astimezone. you can convert datetime object to another timezone easily by:

d = datetime.now()
d.astimezone(pytz.timezone('Europe/london'))

Change your Time_Zone setting to your location specific-

As you said yours is Europe/london. Therefore add this setting in your

settings.py

TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/london'
