When you pass a naive datetime to the Django ORM, it uses settings.TIME_ZONE
for the time zone. In the development environment, both settings.TIME_ZONE
and datetime.now() use 'America/New_York', so there is no change in behavior
there. (fromtimestamp with no tz argument uses the same timezone as
datetime.now)
We are soon going to change settings.TIME_ZONE to UTC, so need to remove
naive datetimes from queries to the ORM.
Finishes the refactoring started in c1bbd8d. The goal of the refactoring is
to change the argument to get_realm from a Realm.domain to a
Realm.string_id. The steps were
* Add a new function, get_realm_by_string_id.
* Change all calls to get_realm to use get_realm_by_string_id instead.
* Remove get_realm.
* (This commit) Rename get_realm_by_string_id to get_realm.
Part of a larger migration to remove the Realm.domain field entirely.
get_realm is better in two key ways:
* It uses memcached to fetch the data from the cache and thus is faster.
* It does a case-insensitive query and thus is more safe.
