Description

@vfilimonov
  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.


If Dataframe has index which timezone is set to dateutil.tz.tzlocal(), it could not be saved to parquet.

It might be related to #24310

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

from dateutil.tz import tzlocal
ind = pd.date_range('2020-02-01','2020-04-14').tz_localize(tzlocal())
x = pd.DataFrame([[1,2]]*len(ind), index=ind, columns=['A','B'])
x.to_parquet('tmp.parquet')

Problem description

The code raises ValueError: Unable to convert timezone "tzlocal()" to string.

However saving to e.g. CSV works well:

x.to_csv('tmp.csv')

Output of pd.show_versions()
