Python Dates and Times in Python (2014) Where on Earth do Timezones Make Sense? Timezone Strings

Posted by Jirka Michalik

to_timezone

Create a function named to_timezone that takes a timezone name as a string. Convert starter to that timezone using pytz's timezones and return the new datetime.

I am not sure, what should I do, can you help me?

timezone.py 
import datetime

import pytz

starter = pytz.utc.localize(datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 23, 29))

def to_timezone(string):
    timezone = pytz.timezone(string)
    time = timezone.localize(starter)
    return time

I would try to change the starter timezone using the new timezone you have created in the variable timezone using the function astimezone().

Save the output of this as your variable time and you should pass the challenge.
