Comment:
Accepted because, yes, it would be nice if the times matched. However I
believe this will not get fixed soon, as there isn't a trivial (as in one-
liner) fix, and for most developers this doesn't have a high priority.
Unless of course somebody interested in fixing this creates a clean patch
with tests.
To get me interested in this ticket, an approach which would go along the
lines of:
- Record transaction start time in Django (something like PostgreSQL
now())
- Use that time in auto_now and auto_now_add
In my opinion the approach is a good one because transaction start time
has other uses than solving this ticket's problem, and it would be
hopefully easy to solve this ticket's problem as a trivial one-liner as a
side effect of having the transaction start time available. In addition,
the transaction start time would make all objects saved in one transaction
have the same time.
Then again, I don't know if core developers would be interested in this
approach...
