pytzstring.py

Looking at other examples and tried them out but they don't seem to be working out. What am I doing wrong.

pytzstring.py 
import datetime
import pytz

fmt = '%m-%d %H:%M %Z%z'
starter = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 4, 29)

pacific = pytz.timezone('US/Pacific')
local = pacific.localized(starter)

def pytz_string = local.strftime(fmt):
    return local.strftime(fmt)

Remove the d in localized. Also pytz_string is supposed to be a variable, not a function.
