Problem Description
I use pd.read_csv to grab a series of timestamp'd links interactively from a remote website.
Feature Description
I would like it to convert the columns specified by parse_dates to the timezone specified by wherever the /etc/localtime link points to by default in a non-deprecated manner:
[frame.loc[:,c].dt.tz_convert('/'.join([os.getenv('TZ', os.path.realpath('/etc/localtime').split('/')[-2:])][0])) for c in frame.select_dtypes('datetime64[ns, UTC]')]`
I'd like to propose this functionality as the tz parameter to read_csv. I suspect the implementation is not python, and can't find it in my git checkout of pandas.
