On Python 2.x on Windows, creating a timedelta with an `np.int32` instance for the number of seconds can (somewhat) silently give wrong results.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.timedelta(seconds=np.int32(123456789))
__main__:1: RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in long_scalars
datetime.timedelta(-1, 84354, 76480)
There's at least a warning from NumPy there as NumPy attempts to scale the np.int32 by 10**6, but depending on settings and on how the code is invoked, the user may not see that warning.
This is not an issue on Python 3.x / Windows or on Python 2.x / Unix; in both those cases, the same code gives a TypeError.
This is related to, but not the same as, #5476.
This may well count as a "won't fix", but it seemed at least worth reporting. |
