AlenkaF opened a new pull request, #38179: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/38179
### Rationale for this change There is a section in the [Arrow C++ documentation with the instructions](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/cpp/build_system.html#runtime-dependencies) on how to download and extract text version of the IANA timezone database and on Windows. We should provide a function in PyArrow that a user would call to download and extract the timezone database from Python. ### What changes are included in this PR? Function `download_tzdata_on_windows()` added to python/pyarrow/util.py that downloads and extracts timezone database to a standard location in `%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\tzdata` on Widnows. ### Are these changes tested? Yes. ### Are there any user-facing changes? No. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
