---------------------------------------------

             Summary: [Python] zoneinfo timezones failing during type inference
                 Key: ARROW-16140
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16140
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Python
            Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche


The conversion itself works fine (eg when specifying {{type=pa.timestamp("us", tz="America/New_York")}} in the below example), but inferring the type and timezone from the first value fails if it has a zoneinfo timezone:

{code}
In [53]: tz = zoneinfo.ZoneInfo(key='America/New_York')

In [54]: dt = datetime.datetime(2013, 11, 3, 10, 3, 14, tzinfo = tz)

In [55]: pa.array([dt])
....
ArrowInvalid: Object returned by tzinfo.utcoffset(None) is not an instance of datetime.timedelta
{code}
