[Numpy-discussion] Summer of Code: Proposal for Implementing date/time types in NumPy

[Marty Fuhry]

Thanks for the input, guys. I'll be looking into the
scikits.timeseries package before submitting an application.

>was it the intent that these new data types should be implemented at the C/cython level?
That's fine with me. I've got plenty of experience in C++, and I've
delved into my fair share of C (just for the record). I'm planning on
writing up a proposal, so if anyone has further input, I would really
appreciate it.
