6,028 PointsCorrection-localize method works only with naive datetime
Kenneth Love :You mentioned in the video that you believed localize method can take aware datetimes too, however in a codechallenge when I tried to use localize on an aware datetime, it did not work. Further when I tried it an Python EVAL loop I got ValueError saying localize take naive datetime. Request your comments on the same.

Treehouse Guest TeacherWell, looking at the pytz docs, seems I was wrong:
This library only supports two ways of building a localized time. The first is to use the localize() method provided by the pytz library. This is used to localize a naive datetime (datetime with no timezone information)
