#1887: broken int64 format in timedelta64 for Python < 2.7

     Type:  defect                     |      Status:  new        
 Priority:  normal                     |   Milestone:  Unscheduled
Component:  numpy.core                 |     Version:  devel      
 Keywords:  datetime, integer formats  |  
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
 With Python versions 2.4-2.6, the output of np.timedelta only produces the
 format string since (probably) merging the datetime branch, like this:
 {{{
 >>> np.__version__
 '2.0.0.dev-f7c16d7'
 >>> np.timedelta64(3)
 numpy.timedelta64(%lld,'generic')
 >>> str(np.timedelta64(3, 's'))
 '%lld seconds'
 }}}
 or in the most recent version
 {{{
 >>> np.__version__
 '2.0.0.dev-192ac74'
 >>> np.timedelta64(3)
 numpy.timedelta64(%lld)
 }}}
 making the corresponding tests fail, whereas with 2.7 and 3.2 the intended
 output is produced:
 {{{
 >>> np.timedelta64(3)
 numpy.timedelta64(3)
 >>> str(np.timedelta64(3, 's'))
 '3 seconds'
 }}}
 (Tested on MacOS X 10.5/ppc and 10.6/x86_64)
