The dtype is created/registered during module initialisation with:
    dtype = PyObject_New(PyArray_Descr, &PyArrayDescr_Type);
    dtype->typeobj = &Time360Type;
    ...
    PyArray_RegisterDataType(dtype)

Where Time360Type is my new type definition:
    static PyTypeObject Time360Type = { ... }
which is initialised prior to the dtype creation.

If the detail matters then should I assume this is unexpected
behaviour and maybe I can fix my code so it works?
