With NumPy 1.6.1 (from EPD 7.2-2) I get this behavior:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In [1]: import numpy as np
In [2]: schema = np.dtype({'names':['symbol', 'date', 'open', 'high', 'low',
...: 'close', 'volume', 'adjclose'],
...: 'formats':['S8', 'M8', float, float, float, float,
...: float, float]})
In [3]: data = [("AAPL", "2012-04-12", 600.0, 605.0, 598.0, 602.0, 50000000,
602.0),]
In [4]: recdata = np.array(data, dtype=schema)
In [5]: recdata
Out[5]:
array([ ('AAPL', datetime.datetime(2012, 4, 12, 0, 0), 600.0, 605.0, 598.0,
602.0, 50000000.0, 602.0)],
dtype=[('symbol', '|S8'), ('date', ('<M8[us]', {})), ('open', '<f8'),
('high', '<f8'), ('low', '<f8'), ('close', '<f8'), ('volume', '<f8'),
('adjclose', '<f8')])
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With numpy-1.7.0.dev_3cb783e I get this:
>>> import numpy as np
>>> schema =
>>> np.dtype({'names':['symbol','data','open','high','low','close','volume','adjclose'],
>>> 'formats':['S8','M8',float,float,float,float,float,float]})
>>> data = [("AAPL", "2012-04-12", 600.0, 605.0, 598.0, 602.0, 50000000,
>>> 602.0),]
>>> recdata = np.array(data, dtype=schema)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Cannot create a NumPy datetime other than NaT with generic units
>>> np.version.version
'1.7.0.dev-3cb783e'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any hints about a regression I can check for? Or perhaps I missed an api change
for specifying datetime dtypes?
Best,
Travis
