Hello,

I get a segfault here:

In [1]: x = np.array([1,2,3], dtype='M') In [2]: x.searchsorted(2, side='left')

But it's fine here:

In [1]: x = np.array([1,2,3], dtype='M') In [2]: x.view('i8').searchsorted(2, side='left') Out[2]: 1

This segfaults again:

x.view('i8').searchsorted(np.datetime64(2), side='left')

GDB gets me this far:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. PyArray_SearchSorted (op1=0x1b8dd70, op2=0x17dfac0, side=NPY_SEARCHLEFT) at numpy/core/src/multiarray/item_selection.c:1463 1463 Py_INCREF(dtype);

Confirmed in current development. Note that things have changed and the initial array creation will fail (no unit). The searchsorted will work if searching for a datetime: In [10]: x = np.array([1,2,3], 'datetime64[D]') In [11]: x.searchsorted(datetime64(2,'D')) Out[11]: 1 So the failure is one of raising an appropriate error message. Please open a ticket. Chuck
