Saving an instance stores the timezone and applies it to all read operations

[deceze]

LinkedTZDateTimeField.pre_save calls _convert_value which calls _get_populate_from which does self.timezone = tz. Now the timezone used to save the instance is stored "statically" in the field.

Reading records from the database uses:

def to_python(self, value):
    """Convert the value to the appropriate timezone."""
    # pylint: disable=newstyle
    value = super(LinkedTZDateTimeField, self).to_python(value)

    if not value:
        return value

    return value.astimezone(self.timezone)  # 👈

So the timezone of the last saved instance is applied to all read instances, even if they may have other timezones.

Is there an alternative maintained package?
