geodjango-timezones
Models to store and scripts to load timezone shapefiles to be usable inside a GeoDjango application.
Readme
This app provides models to store Timezone data from a couple sources:
It's useful for applications where the user enters times related to a location (i.e. specifying a pickup time for a rental car, or business hours)
It is useful for finding tzids you can feed to datetime and Django from a geometry if you know WHERE that time is.
fixtures/ contains timezones.json which includes an archived copy of the data for the United States for testing purposes. As this data may change, make sure you use the shapefile and not this data for your application.
Tested with Django 1.11 on Python 2.7
