11,490 Pointsold question, looks like no one replies to these anymore =(
Seems like you are re-defining the argument 'time_string' right when it is passed through the to_timezone function.
try creating a new variable like "local_time" and change pytz.timezone('US/Pacific') to accept the 'time_string' argument. =)
hope this helps.
