Treehouse Moderator 28,722 PointsDates and Times in Python can be a little challenging! I haven't memorized the syntax so had to look it up at:
https://pypi.org/project/pytz/
I hope the code is somewhat explanatory...
# import the Python Timezone library
import pytz
# create a timezone localizer called "pacific"
pacific = pytz.timezone('US/Pacific')
# convert the starter time to the local pacific timezone.
local = pacific.localize(starter)
