    This retrieves a time zone from the local zoneinfo tarball that is packaged
    with dateutil.

        An IANA-style time zone name, as found in the zoneinfo file.

        Returns a :class:`dateutil.tz.tzfile` time zone object.

    .. warning::
        It is generally inadvisable to use this function, and it is only
        provided for API compatibility with earlier versions. This is *not*
        equivalent to ``dateutil.tz.gettz()``, which selects an appropriate
        time zone based on the inputs, favoring system zoneinfo. This is ONLY
        for accessing the dateutil-specific zoneinfo (which may be out of
        date compared to the system zoneinfo).

    .. deprecated:: 2.6
        If you need to use a specific zoneinfofile over the system zoneinfo,
        instantiate a :class:`dateutil.zoneinfo.ZoneInfoFile` object and call
        :func:`dateutil.zoneinfo.ZoneInfoFile.get(name)` instead.

        Use :func:`get_zonefile_instance` to retrieve an instance of the
        dateutil-provided zoneinfo.
