Hello,
I wanted to add a specified offset (10 seconds) to and existing datetime (an index previously created by pd.to_datetime), so I thought creating a timedelta and adding it would do the trick. As you can see it doesn't yield an error but produces a rather strange results.
@buddha[J:T26]|5> base = pd.to_datetime(datetime.datetime.now())
@buddha[J:T26]|6> offset = pd.to_timedelta(10, unit='s')
@buddha[J:T26]|7> offset
<7> numpy.timedelta64(10000000000,'ns')
@buddha[J:T26]|8> base
<8> Timestamp('2014-04-05 13:13:40.374000', tz=None)
@buddha[J:T26]|9> base + offset
<9> Timestamp('2014-04-05 13:13:41.784065408', tz=None)
If I try to do the same by creating a datetime.timedelta then everything works as expected.
@buddha[J:T26]|10> offset2 = datetime.timedelta(seconds = 10)
@buddha[J:T26]|11> base + offset2
<11> Timestamp('2014-04-05 13:13:50.374000', tz=None)
This is really confusing and hard to spot. I think that pd.to_datetime and pd.to_timedelta should be compatible, but if they are not, please make the error easier to spot.
Thanks,
Adam
