Hi Pandas devs,

If you are not already aware, I proposed PEP 615, which adds IANA time zone support to the standard library, almost two months ago. I know that pandas makes very heavy use of time zones, so I probably should have explicitly requested comments earlier in this process, but I suppose it's better late than never.

The discussion is mostly centralized to the Python discourse. You are welcome to comment on any aspect of the PEP, though one of the few remaining "open questions" is the question of equality and hash semantics, which I figured may be relevant for this crowd, since I know you have to do some funky footwork to in some ways normalize time zones and adapt the time zone information to your own time model.

Thanks!
Paul
