I'm having trouble figuring out why this isnt passing. do i have to edit hill_valley itself?

I Just cant figure it out.

aware.py 
import datetime

naive = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 4, 29)
pacific = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours=-8))
hill_valley = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 4, 29, tzinfo = pacific)
gay_paris = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours=1))
paris = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 4, 29, tzinfo = gay_paris)

eu_paris = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours = 1))
paris = hill_valley.astimezone(eu_paris)

As the 2nd questions asks

"Now make a variable paris that is hill_valley as the "Europe/Paris" timezone. "Europe/Paris" is UTC+01:00."

You need to use astimezone()
