'LocalTimezone' object has no attribute 'localize'

[bobemoe]

I am getting this error when trying to render a date range defined by absolute date/times. If I use relative (from=-24h and until=now or similar) then the graph renders fine.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 111, in get_response
    response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs)
  File "/opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/render/views.py", line 54, in renderView
    (graphOptions, requestOptions) = parseOptions(request)
  File "/opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/render/views.py", line 301, in parseOptions
    untilTime = parseATTime(queryParams['until'], tzinfo, now)
  File "/opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/render/attime.py", line 41, in parseATTime
    return tzinfo.localize(datetime.strptime(s,'%H:%M%Y%m%d'), daylight)
AttributeError: 'LocalTimezone' object has no attribute 'localize'

Graphite version 0.9.x installed from git today.
Django version 1.7.1.

Timezone in local_settings.py is set to
TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/London'

The only thing I am doing slightly different than normal is using Waitress rather than Apache. I am using the /opt/graphite/conf/graphite.wsgi.example with the following lines added at the bottom:

from waitress import serve
serve(application, host='0.0.0.0', port=8080)

Do you have pytz installed? It's a requirement for proper timezone handling. We should probably add it / document this if that's not already the case.

[bobemoe]

Bingo! Working fine now I've installed pytz. Thanks :)

[obfuscurity]

@gwaldo Do you have a few mins to tackle this doc bug?

[gwaldo]

@obfuscurity Which would you say is the doc bug?

1. pytz isn't installed, and should be a prereq
2. Timezone should be set to zulu or local
3. something about the relative times (I'd need help with an explanation on that)

[obfuscurity]

Number 1.

[gwaldo]

@obfuscurity I'll add to the docs.

Can / Should I add it to the code so that it's done automagically (w/ Twisted, et al.)?

[obfuscurity]

It's already in requirements.txt so it shouldn't be an issue unless you try to install manually.

[obfuscurity]

@gwaldo Do you have time to finish this up anytime soon?

[gwaldo]

Yes, I can do that tonight.

Apologies for my inattention. End-of-year madness at both home & work.

[deniszh]

@gwaldo, just created #1061 - is that enough? If not - yw to create another one. 😸

[gwaldo]

That looks fabulous, @deniszh ✨

Are you doing the same for Master, or shall I?

[deniszh]

Simple cherry-pick - #1062

[obfuscurity]

Thanks!

I have the same problem when use uwsgi with graphite.wsgi.example.
But start the app with run-graphite-devel-server.py is ok, even don't install pytz.

[deniszh]

@billowqiu - yes, that will also work, but please note that development server is for development only, and not for production load.

@deniszh @billowqiu but anybody know how to fix this on Centos7

if i try to get the render

i wanna update this process i ve fix this problem
i ctrl + shift +i to see which is wrong and i found the Traceback excception;
and i grep -rwn 'normailize' * in the dir which contains the dependency,it all ok

so i think its about the permission problem,i think the wsgi file cannot access out depandency lib,so i try
<Directory /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/>
#Order deny,allow
#Allow from all
Require all granted

apactl -v 2.4.*

so it can rend the data out.

so it s because the mod wsgi file cannot access our depandency,problem solved

@stttt2003pk install pytz?
