Django 4 Error: 'No time zone found with key ...'

Question

After rebuild of my Django 4 Docker container the web service stopped working with this error:

zoneinfo._common.ZoneInfoNotFoundError: 'No time zone found with key Asia/Hanoi'

My setup is:

• Python 3.10
• Django 4.0.5

Error:

In the Django settings file:

TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'
USE_TZ = True

PS: As suggested in another post I added tzdata to my requirements file but nothing changed.

Answer 1

Downgrading the pytz version from 2022.2 to 2022.1 seems to have solved this issue for me.

Answer 2

I've got the same error. It helps me to fix it:

# upgrade pytz up to the latest pytz-2022.2.1
pip install pytz --upgrade
# upgarde tzdata up to tzdata-2022.2
pip install tzdata --upgrade

After upgrades pytz and tzdata my Django project is working just fine again!
