How to change Pandas.DataFrame.resample default holiday calendar?

Question

I'm reading Wes McKinney's Python for Data Analysis book. On the topic of using DataFrame.resample() or Series.resample() , if I want to resample for Business days, I would use:

df.resample('B')

However, I noticed that the notation of 'B' depends on your computer's region... I'm failing to run the examples on page 344 because my calendar isn't US...

How can I explicitly choose to resample based on a particular country's holiday? Say, US holidays, or European holidays? Struggling to find some documentation on this... The doc for resample() I found here { http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/dev/generated/pandas.DataFrame.resample.html } is rather short and doesn't really go into the details of the first parameter rule ...

Many thanks.

Custom Business Days (Experimental)

The CDay or CustomBusinessDay class provides a parametric BusinessDay class which can be used to create customized business day calendars which account for local holidays and local weekend conventions.
