Django: DateTimeField received a naive datetime

Question

I am working on creating a view that will only display posts whose deadlines dates have not passed. accomplish this I've added the following my views.py file:

current_posts = Posts.objects.filter(post_name=post, deadline__range=[date.today(), "2999-12-31"]).order_by('deadline')

This way I am able to only show posts whose deadline range fall between today and December 31, 2999. However I get the following error, and no posts show at all:

RuntimeWarning: DateTimeField OfferedFunds.deadline received a naive datetime (2999-12-31 00:00:00) while time zone support is active.
  RuntimeWarning)

Past solutions posted left me trying the following which also does not work:

timezone.now()
current_posts = Posts.objects.filter(post_name=post, deadline__range=[timezone.now(), "2999-12-31"]).order_by('deadline')

What does work is if instead of entering: timezone.now(), I enter an actual date like "2015-10-10" however this defeats the purpose. Any ideas on how I can solve this?

Answer 1

Instead of checking a range, you can do deadline__gte=timezone.now()
