54,971 PointsI was able to figure it out after reading the following code in this stack overflow:
from datetime import datetime
import pytz
utc_time = datetime.utcnow()
tz = pytz.timezone('America/St_Johns')
utc_time =utc_time.replace(tzinfo=pytz.UTC) #replace method
st_john_time=utc_time.astimezone(tz) #astimezone method
print(st_john_time)
First it is asking you to create a function named to_timezone
with a timezone name as a parameter:
def to_timezone(tzname):
Next you are to convert starter
to this timezone and return the result. Here you can use astimezone
but it has a timezone as a parameter where you are currently passing in the just the name. You can get the timezone from the name by using pyzt.timezone(tzname)
.
If you want I can post my solution but I think you can get it from here.
