Description: # Introduction
        
        These utility functions are helpful in handling dates, datetimes, and timezones
        in Django.
        
        # Examples
        
        Let's say you have the following in your Django settings.py
        
            TIME_ZONE = 'EST'
            USE_TZ = True
        
        Now let's attempt to write our own tomorrow() function.
        
            from datetime import timedelta
            from django.utils.timezone import now
        
            def tomorrow():
              # Subtle bug! Django's now() function returns a timezone enabled datetime
              # in UTC, regardless of the TIME_ZONE setting. If it's 11 Wednesday
              # MORNING in New York, this function will work. But if it's 11 Wednesday
              # NIGHT in New York, the UTC timezone is already in Thursday, so in that
              # case this code will return Friday.
              return now().date() + timedelta(days=1)
        
        Here's one way to fix the problem.
        
            from datetime import timedelta
            from djavedt import now
        
            def tomorrow():
              # djavedt's now() function returns a timezone enabled datetime in the
              # timezone of the TIME_ZONE setting, which is EST in our example. So this
              # function will work as expected at 11PM in New York.
              return now().date() + timedelta(days=1)
