I have a question concerning django.utils.timezone package.
I am at UTC+7 timezone. Thus, if it is 16:00 local time,
timezone.now() returns 9:00. That is just fine.
However when I do the following:
current_tz = pytz.timezone('Europe/Moscow') # UTC + 4
timezone.activate(current_tz)
I expect timezone.now() to return 12:00 at 16:00 localtime, but the output remains the same "9:00".
Does timezone.activate() affects on anything at all?

To enable it, set USE_TZ = True in your settings file. In Django 5.0, time zone support will be enabled by default. Time zone support uses zoneinfo , which is part of the Python standard library from Python 3.9.
When USE_TZ is False, this is the time zone in which Django will store all datetimes. When USE_TZ is True, this is the default time zone that Django will use to display datetimes in templates and to interpret datetimes entered in forms.
utils. tzinfo , is a support system within Django that stores data and time information in UTC in the database. It uses the time-zone-aware- datetime objects internally and translates them to the user's time zone in templates.
timezone.now() explicitly returns UTC time.
After timezone.activate, then timezone.localtime(timezone.now()) returns the output you want.
