Not sure why this isn't working

I looked through the Community board and there are other variations of this problem's answer but I think I did the astimezone method correctly. Not sure why it's not passing.

aware.py 
import datetime

naive = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 4, 29)
pacific = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours = -8))
aware = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 4, 29, tzinfo = pacific)
hill_valley = naive.replace(tzinfo = pacific)

europe = datetime.datetime(datetime.timedelta(hour = 1))
paris = hill_valley.astimezone(europe)
return paris

You have two typos

europe = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours = 1)) # changed to 'timezone' and 'hours'
paris = hill_valley.astimezone(europe)
# return paris. # <-- commented. 'return' does not apply since this is not a function definition

Ohh whoops... Thanks Chris. Here's what I did:

import datetime

naive = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 4, 29)
pacific = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours = -8))
hill_valley = naive.replace(tzinfo = pacific)

europe = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours = 1))
paris = hill_valley.astimezone(europe)
