xarray Dataset.from_dataframe timezone regression 2024.5 git blame | xarray from_dataframe convert_dataframe_to_dataset_variables 2024.5 timezone CFTimeIndex pandas_to_list
Older notes for pydata__xarray-9042 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.
Why the common answers are incomplete
xarray Dataset.from_dataframe regressed around timezone-aware dataframe indexes in the 2024.5 conversion path.
Preserve timezone-aware pandas indexes/values when convert_dataframe_to_dataset_variables builds dataset coordinates.
The relevant code path includes CFTimeIndex and pandas_to_list, so the fix should avoid lossy list conversion for timezone-aware data.
