I am Mohammed Faisal Anees , a Computer Science student at IIIT- Hyderabad. I was going though the ideas page and I found "Improve Numpy datetime functionality" really interesting ,It's great to have the interest!One trick is that I dont hink there is a consensus on what needs to be done to "improve datetime".One thing that does need to be done is cleaning up time zone handling -- and I think we ALMOST have consensus on how to do that (at least the quick fix part).Take a look for threads on this list in the last year about "datetime64" and this ticket:(and search for other datetime64 tickets...)Note that we are hoping to fix that for 1.9 -- anyone have a time scale for that? Too soon for GSoC?
