title: Django - timestamp fields in model
body: <p>Found this answer to the same question here <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11332107/timestamp-fields-in-django">Timestamp fields in django</a> but I think I'm missing something - shouldn't saving timestamps in django models be easier than having to create your own timestamp field?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>I have a model that has a <code>DateTimeField</code> field. To feed that field, I am using a <code>datetime</code> object. But I have just realized that <code>datetime</code> object doesn't actually include timezone, so I would be better off just directly storing the timestamp, as originally I'm getting this data from an API in timestamps anyway. Any more straightforward way to do this than in the answer above?</p>
