Description
Here are two main reasons:
-
As of Python 3.6, the tzinfo documentation recommends
dateutil.tzrather thanpytzas an IANA time zone provider. -
Pandas supports dateutil timezones.
When having a pandas DataFrame that uses a dateutil timezone, you get an error.
Below is a code sample:
import dateutil tz = dateutil.tz.gettz('Asia/Shanghai') df = pd.DataFrame({'a': list(range(1, 4)), 'b': pd.date_range('20130101', periods=3, tz=tz)}) df.to_feather('df.feather')
Errors:
ArrowInvalid: ('Object returned by tzinfo.utcoffset(None) is not an instance of datetime.timedelta', "Conversion failed for column b with type datetime64[ns, tzfile('/usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai')]")
