Joris Van den Bossche commented on ARROW-17398:
-----------------------------------------------
Yes, changed the label in the PR title.
On the actual topic: do you know to what extent the strptime implementations we
use actually support this?
In the Python docs, see note number 6) in
https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#technical-detail about the "%Z"
support, and for example there they say that Python's implementation only
supports your local time zone (depending on your computer's locale) + "UTC" /
"GMT"
> [C++] Add support for %Z to strptime
