How to set the timezone in Django?

Issue

In my django project’s settings.py file, I have this line :

TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'

But I want my app to run in UTC+2 timezone, so I changed it to

TIME_ZONE = 'UTC+2'

It gives the error ValueError: Incorrect timezone setting: UTC+2. What is the correct way of doing this?

Thanks!

Solution

Here is the list of valid timezones:

You can use

TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/Istanbul'

for UTC+02:00
