Joris Van den Bossche commented on ARROW-14567:
-----------------------------------------------
I agree with [~jonkeane] that IMO the least confusing display would be to use
localized strings (with timezone offset indication, so like "1970-01-01
02:00:00+02:00"). Adding "Z" is certainly better than the current situation,
but it still doesn't give a quick idea about the local time that the timestamp
actually represents.
> [C++][Python][R] PrettyPrint ignores timezone

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++, Python, R

> Priority: Major

> When printing TimestampArray in pyarrow the timezone information is ignored
> by PrettyPrint (__str__ calls to_string() in array.pxi).
> {code:python}
> import pyarrow as pa
> a = pa.array([0], pa.timestamp('s', tz='+02:00'))
> print(a) # representation not correct?
> # <pyarrow.lib.TimestampArray object at 0x7f834c7cb9a8>
> # [
> # 1970-01-01 00:00:00
> # ]
> {code}
