Datetimes are still a mess. Now we have 3 datetime objects and converting between them is not obvious or trivial: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uiXQd.png https://i

- _coveredInBees 7y agoYeah sure, but that isn't their fault really. I can see a role for python's datetime being separate from numpy/pandas, but I do think a consolidated datetime object would be better to have rather than the numpy and pandas versions that are similar but not the same.
- spectramax 7y agoDefinitely agree, pandas/numpy can have internal representations of efficient datetimes but the user should not have to deal with these conversions.
