This is working in Workspaces but returns "Bummer! Try again in the challenge.
import datetime
import pytz
starter = pytz.utc.localize(datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 23, 29))
def to_timezone(timezone_name, starter):
return starter.astimezone(pytz.timezone(timezone_name))

Courses Plus Student 3,527 Pointschris freeman basically what Elizabeth has done but somehow it does not work for me, this is all the code on my screen: import datetime
import pytz
starter = pytz.utc.localize(datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 23, 29))
def to_timezone(name): return starter.astimezone(pytz.timezone(name))
to_timezone('US/Pacific',starter)

Treehouse Moderator 68,423 PointsAhmed Elsawey: Extra code in the challenge sometimes confuses the grader. Remove the last line:
to_timezone('US/Pacific',starter)
