Timezone information lost after pandas.concat

[longislandfarmer]

I found that when using pandas.concat on dataframes with timezone information, the timezone might be lost when using 'innder' join:

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [5]: dr1 = pd.date_range('20110101 0000','20110101 2359',freq='T',tz='Asia/Tokyo')

In [6]: dr2 = pd.date_range('20110101 0000','20110102 2359',freq='T',tz='Asia/Tokyo')

In [7]: df1 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5,1440),columns=dr1)

In [8]: df2 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5,2880),columns=dr2)

In [9]: outer = pd.concat([df1,df2],join='outer')

In [10]: inner = pd.concat([df1,df2],join='inner')

In [11]: print outer.axes[1]
<class 'pandas.tseries.index.DatetimeIndex'>
[2011-01-01 00:00:00+09:00, ..., 2011-01-02 23:59:00+09:00]
Length: 2880, Freq: T, Timezone: Asia/Tokyo

In [12]: print inner.axes[1]
<class 'pandas.tseries.index.DatetimeIndex'>
[2010-12-31 15:00:00, ..., 2011-01-01 14:59:00]
Length: 1440, Freq: T, Timezone: None

Looking at the output [11], the timezone information is kept after concat(), however, if we use 'inner' join, the timezone information is lost!

this is fixed in master/0.14.1 (releasing soon), see #6606
