Hey guys, I really need your help...I'm getting bummer and i don't know what is the problem:(
import datetime
import pytz
fmt = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z%z"
starter = pytz.utc.localize(datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 23, 29))
def to_timezone(tz):
my_tz = pytz.timezone(tz)
return starter.astimezone(tz)

def to_timezone(tz):
return starter.astimezone(pytz.timezone(tz))
