> Python: Respect timezone on conversion of Pandas datetime columns
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-378
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-378
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Reporter: Uwe Korn
> Assignee: Jim Ahn
> Priority: Major
> Labels: newbie
>
> Currently we convert columns irrespectively of their timezone directly to
> timestamps in Arrow. While in Pandas you are able to specify timezones, in
> Arrow we have the assumptions that a Timestamp is always the time of the
> specified unit since 00:00:00.000 on 1 January 1970, UTC. Thus we have to
> check if {{df['column‘].tz}} is set and convert if necessary to UTC before
> converting to an Arrow column.
