[Fixed]-Django Tutorial – ImproperlyConfigured exception (pytz isn't installed)

14πŸ‘

βœ…

After continuing to search for django and pytz, I found the 1.6 Django release notes, which mention that you must now install pytz to work with Sqlite3 if USE_TZ=True in your settings.py.

I don’t know what effect USE_TZ has on your application, but setting that value to False allows me to proceed in the tutorial. I would hope that the Django tutorial is updated to reflect this change.

I was also getting the same error.
I installed pytz

$ pip install pytz

and then i restarted the server. The exception is no more now.

I had same error, then I installed pytz with pip install pytz and again had same error until I restarted WSGI instance. (eg. touching wsig.py (touch wsgi.py) or restarting apache (apache2ctl restart)
