SyntaxError: invalid syntax in dumpscript

After generating a dumpscrip, I called it somewhere else and I got a syntax error. I’m aware this is not the way the documentation suggest for running the script, but the syntax error shouldn’t be there anyway, I didn’t try but it would also fail doing ./manage.py runscript out

python out.py

  File "out.txt", line 136
    pictures_picture_3.owner_user =  importer.locate_object(User, "id", User, "id", 1, {'id': 1, 'password': 'XXXX', 'last_login': datetime.datetime(2018, 7, 30, 3, 19, 37, 885214, tzinfo=<UTC>), 'is_superuser': True, 'first_name': 'Martín', 'last_name': 'Volpe', 'is_staff': True, 'is_active': True, 'date_joined': datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 11, 21, 45, 36, tzinfo=<UTC>), 'email': '[e-mail]', 'slug': 'martinvol'} )

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The error is with tzinfo=<UTC>

Django 2.0.7 django-extensions 2.0.7 Pyton 3.6.4

If you are struggling with the error yourself, you can walk around generating the user manually (if it doesn’t exist yet) and replace

owner_user = importer.locate_object(User, "id", User, "id", 1, {'id': 1, 'password': 'XXXX', 'last_login': datetime.datetime(2018, 7, 30, 3, 19, 37, 885214, tzinfo=<UTC>), 'is_superuser': True, 'first_name': 'Martín', 'last_name': 'Volpe', 'is_staff': True, 'is_active': True, 'date_joined': datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 11, 21, 45, 36, tzinfo=<UTC>), 'email': '[e-mail]', 'slug': 'martinvol'} )

with:

owner_user = User.objects.get(email='[e-mail]')

Best,

I consider this a bug in pytz, not django-extensions. Root cause here is that repr(pytz.utc) is "<UTC>", which can’t be eval’ed.
