Converting between datetime, Timestamp and datetime64

Question

How do I convert a numpy.datetime64 object to a datetime.datetime (or Timestamp)?

In the following code, I create a datetime,

Answer 1

One option is to use str, and then to_datetime (or similar):

In [11]: str(dt64)
Out[11]: '2012-05-01T01:00:00.000000+0100'

In [12]: pd.to_datetime(str(dt64))
Out[12]: datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 1, 1, 0, tzinfo=tzoffset(None, 3600))

Note: it is not equal to dt because it's become "offset-aware":

In [13]: pd.to_datetime(str(dt64)).replace(tzinfo=None)
Out[13]: datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 1, 1, 0)

This seems inelegant.

.

Update: this can deal with the "nasty example":

In [21]: dt64 = numpy.datetime64('2002-06-28T01:00:00.000000000+0100')

In [22]: pd.to_datetime(str(dt64)).replace(tzinfo=None)
Out[22]: datetime.datetime(2002, 6, 28, 1, 0)
