cloned "Multiple Securities" program does not build

For a couple of days I've tried cloning the "Multiple Securities" code from sample Algorithms section (Help > Help & API docs > Sample Algorithms). The build returns an error in Line 28:

Error Runtime exception: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/qexec/virtual_envs/qexec/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pytz/zoneinfo/EST'

I always like to build sample code so I know I'm starting with something that works. This apparently doesn't. I hope Jess, Alisa, or another of the quant team can fix.

I clicked the "Add Backtest" button above this email, but that didn't work.

I am using a Chrome browser, if that might make a difference. Other backtests have worked fine in this browser. In fact, I've traded live using this Chromebook.

Alisa, Quantopian extraordinaire, replied that this is a glitch on their end, and will be fixed.
