You will need to convert the integers manually I suspect
with int(row[0]) and int(row[7]).

For the dates and times, what happens if you simply remove
the strftime() functions from your lambdas?

Things are complicated slightly by your use of genfromtxt since
it's part of numpy and not in the standard library. I have
no idea what it does so there may be tricks you can do with
it.
