Summary

This PR fixes the Windows CI failures caused by timezone parsing issues, specifically with America/Coyhaique which fails on Windows due to differences in the system timezone database.

Problem: tz.gettz('America/Coyhaique') returns None on Windows, causing ParserError: Could not parse timezone expression 'America/Coyhaique'

Solution: Implement hybrid timezone parsing that uses zoneinfo.ZoneInfo() first (which provides consistent cross-platform timezone support), then falls back to dateutil.tz.gettz() for backward compatibility.

Changes Made

  • arrow/parser.py: Updated TzinfoParser.parse() to use zoneinfo first, with dateutil fallback
  • tests/utils.py: Added get_timezone() helper that mirrors parser logic
  • tests/test_parser.py: Updated tests to use consistent timezone resolution
  • tests/test_formatter.py: Updated formatter tests for consistency

Benefits

  • ✅ Fixes Windows CI failures for problematic timezones
  • ✅ Maintains 100% backward compatibility
  • ✅ Uses existing dependencies (backports.zoneinfo already available)
  • ✅ Improves cross-platform timezone consistency
  • ✅ No breaking changes to public API

Test Plan

  • All pre-commit hooks pass (linting, type checking, formatting)
  • Windows CI tests pass (this PR will verify)
  • Linux/macOS CI tests continue to pass
  • Coverage remains at 99%+

This is a DRAFT PR for testing the fix - the Windows CI should now pass for all Python versions.
