polars.Series.dt.replace_time_zone#

Series.dt.replace_time_zone(time_zone: str | None) → Series[source]#

Replace time zone for a Series of type Datetime.

Different from convert_time_zone, this will also modify the underlying timestamp and will ignore the original time zone.

Parameters:

time_zone: Time zone for the Datetime Series. Pass None to unset time zone.

Examples

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> start = datetime(2020, 3, 1)
>>> stop = datetime(2020, 5, 1)
>>> date = pl.date_range(start, stop, "1mo", time_zone="UTC")
>>> date
