> Related to ARROW-5248, but specifically for the stdlib
> {{datetime.timezone.utc}}, I think it would be nice to "recognize" this as
> UTC. Currently it is converted to "+00:00", while for pytz this is not the
> case:
> {code}
> from datetime import datetime, timezone
> import pytz
> print(pa.array([datetime.now(timezone.utc)]).type)
> print(pa.array([datetime.now(pytz.utc)]).type)
> {code}
> gives
> {code}
> timestamp[us, tz=+00:00]
> timestamp[us, tz=UTC]
> {code}
