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))
to_timezone('US/Pacific',starter)

is already defined outside the function, it doesn't need to be passed in. In short: remove starter
from the function argument list

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 67,989 PointsAhmed Elsawey: Extra code in the challenge sometimes confuses the grader. Remove the last line:
to_timezone('US/Pacific',starter)
