Yes, looks like every timezone in django is a type on its own. Maybe
on Linux you tested with a previous version where the timezones were
just strings. If this is the case, maybe passing
str(settings.TIMEZONE) will work.

I've django 1.2 installed anyway and here:

 - the setting I have is called TIME_ZONE, not TIMEZONE
 - this setting is a string.

Are you testing with django trunk? Can you report what the setting
really is from an interactive shell?

    python /path/to/project/manage.py shell
    >>> from django.conf import settings
    >>> settings.TIME_ZONE
    'London/Europe'
    >>> type(settings.TIME_ZONE)
    <type 'str'>
    >>> import django
    >>> print django.VERSION
    (1, 2, 0, 'final', 0)

Just to check we are talking about the same thing...
