|
| 122 | + :param timezones: Any iterable that contains valid Olson Time Zone strings. |

| 124 | + :return: A tuple containing tuples of time zone choices. |
| 125 | + :rtype: tuple |

| 127 | + parameter is not recognized as a valid Olson time zone. |

| 136 | +
|
| 137 | + >>> import pytz |
| 138 | + >>> from timezone_utils.choices import get_choices |
