How to set a specific time zone in django?

Question

In django, it only has UTC timezone and other countries, but I live in Texas and there's like a five hour difference. How do I specify central time zone in my settings.py?

You can see available timezones here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones — markwalker_, Jul 28 '21 at 23:16
@sajeyksmwangi I already saw that, and they only have country specifications available — Rebecca, Jul 28 '21 at 23:22

Check your current time and see the difference between UTC. It will match any of them in the list

But, the best practice is using UTC if your users stay in different locations.

You can use America/Panama timezone which is equal to Texas.
