[Python] Recognize datetime.timezone.utc as UTC on conversion python->pyarrow #25989
Description
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:
from datetime import datetime, timezone
import pytz
print(pa.array([datetime.now(timezone.utc)]).type)
print(pa.array([datetime.now(pytz.utc)]).type)gives
timestamp[us, tz=+00:00]
timestamp[us, tz=UTC]Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche / @jorisvandenbossche
