ENH: Support non-nano inference in to_datetime (original) (raw)

Feature Type

• Adding new functionality to pandas
• Changing existing functionality in pandas
• Removing existing functionality in pandas

Problem Description

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: pd.to_datetime("1677-01-01 00:00:00") OutOfBoundsDatetime: Out of bounds nanosecond timestamp: 1677-01-01 00:00:00, at position 0

In [3]: pd.Timestamp("1677-01-01 00:00:00") Out[3]: Timestamp('1677-01-01 00:00:00')

Feature Description

It would be great if to_datetime would perform unit inference like Timestamp.

Looks mainly an issue with array_to_datetime still assuming ns resolution for strings

Alternative Solutions

Use Timestamp
