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

tzinfo syntax error

I don't understand what's wrong with the syntax, I checked the Python documentation and it seems right - I even saw Kenneth post that exact line in another thread here!

Any advice would be appreciated!

aware.py 
import datetime

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

The check returns: Bummer! SyntaxError: hill_valley = naive.replace(tzinfo=pacific) I'm probably just overlooking something horribly obvious!

You've got unbalanced parentheses on the line where you assign "pacific".

You need one more closing parenthesis at the end.

..as horribly obvious as I supposed! Thank you :)
