Comment(by charris):

 The problem is that conversion from python datetime to numpy datetime64 is
 not currently supported. They are different types. Note that this works



 {{{
 In [17]: d = datetime(2009, 1, 1, 0, 0)

 In [18]: array([str(d)]*2, datetime64)
 Out[18]: array(['2009-01-01T00:00:00-0700', '2009-01-01T00:00:00-0700'],
 dtype='datetime64[s]')

 }}}


 I'll admit that the error message isn't very helpful. There is a pull
 request to fix some of these issues, I'll take a closer look this weekend.
