        Localize tz-naive Datetime Array/Index to tz-aware Datetime Array/Index.

        This method takes a time zone (tz) naive Datetime Array/Index object

        This method can also be used to do the inverse -- to create a time

        ----------
        tz : str, pytz.timezone, dateutil.tz.tzfile or None

        ambiguous : 'infer', 'NaT', bool array, default 'raise'
            When clocks moved backward due to DST, ambiguous times may arise.
            For example in Central European Time (UTC+01), when going from
            03:00 DST to 02:00 non-DST, 02:30:00 local time occurs both at
            00:30:00 UTC and at 01:30:00 UTC. In such a situation, the
            `ambiguous` parameter dictates how ambiguous times should be
            handled.

            - 'infer' will attempt to infer fall dst-transition hours based on
              order
            - bool-ndarray where True signifies a DST time, False signifies a
              non-DST time (note that this flag is only applicable for
              ambiguous times)
            - 'NaT' will return NaT where there are ambiguous times
            - 'raise' will raise an AmbiguousTimeError if there are ambiguous
              times.

        nonexistent : 'shift_forward', 'shift_backward, 'NaT', timedelta, \
default 'raise'
            A nonexistent time does not exist in a particular timezone
            where clocks moved forward due to DST.

            - 'shift_forward' will shift the nonexistent time forward to the
              closest existing time
            - 'shift_backward' will shift the nonexistent time backward to the
              closest existing time
            - 'NaT' will return NaT where there are nonexistent times
            - timedelta objects will shift nonexistent times by the timedelta
            - 'raise' will raise an NonExistentTimeError if there are
              nonexistent times.

        Returns
        -------
        Same type as self
            Array/Index converted to the specified time zone.

        Raises
        ------
        TypeError
            If the Datetime Array/Index is tz-aware and tz is not None.

        See Also
        --------
        DatetimeIndex.tz_convert : Convert tz-aware DatetimeIndex from
            one time zone to another.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> tz_naive = pd.date_range('2018-03-01 09:00', periods=3)
        >>> tz_naive
        DatetimeIndex(['2018-03-01 09:00:00', '2018-03-02 09:00:00',
                       '2018-03-03 09:00:00'],
                      dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='D')

        Localize DatetimeIndex in US/Eastern time zone:

        >>> tz_aware = tz_naive.tz_localize(tz='US/Eastern')
        >>> tz_aware
        DatetimeIndex(['2018-03-01 09:00:00-05:00',

                      dtype='datetime64[ns, US/Eastern]', freq=None)

        With the ``tz=None``, we can remove the time zone information
        while keeping the local time (not converted to UTC):

        >>> tz_aware.tz_localize(None)
        DatetimeIndex(['2018-03-01 09:00:00', '2018-03-02 09:00:00',
                       '2018-03-03 09:00:00'],
                      dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq=None)

        Be careful with DST changes. When there is sequential data, pandas can
        infer the DST time:

        >>> s = pd.to_datetime(pd.Series(['2018-10-28 01:30:00',
        ...                               '2018-10-28 02:00:00',
        ...                               '2018-10-28 02:30:00',

        ...                               '2018-10-28 03:00:00',
        ...                               '2018-10-28 03:30:00']))
        >>> s.dt.tz_localize('CET', ambiguous='infer')
        0   2018-10-28 01:30:00+02:00
        1   2018-10-28 02:00:00+02:00
        2   2018-10-28 02:30:00+02:00
        3   2018-10-28 02:00:00+01:00
        4   2018-10-28 02:30:00+01:00
        5   2018-10-28 03:00:00+01:00

        In some cases, inferring the DST is impossible. In such cases, you can
        pass an ndarray to the ambiguous parameter to set the DST explicitly

        >>> s = pd.to_datetime(pd.Series(['2018-10-28 01:20:00',
