Describe the issue:
I'd like to register (unsafe) cast functions between datetime64 and a custom dtype. Per the docs, I use PyArray_RegisterCastFunc to register these. Essentially this logic:
// ...
PyArray_RegisterDataType(descr);
// ...
npy_datetime = PyArray_DescrFromType(NPY_DATETIME);
PyArray_RegisterCastFunc(npy_datetime, descr->type_num, cast_from_datetime);
PyArray_RegisterCastFunc(descr, NPY_DATETIME, cast_to_datetime);
These return no error state, and in fact PyArray_GetCastFunc returns the functions I set.
My actual code is here and happy to provide additional details about what I'm trying to do.
Until 1.20, this worked as expected (Time is my custom dtype):
>>> np.can_cast(np.dtype("datetime64[ns]"), Time, casting="unsafe")
True
>>> np.can_cast(Time, np.dtype("datetime64[ns]"), casting="unsafe")
True
>>> a
array([ora.Time(2022, 4, 20, 4, 3, 8.82545807, UTC)], dtype=Time)
>>> a.astype("datetime64[ns]")
array(['2022-04-20T04:03:08.825458080'], dtype='datetime64[ns]')Starting in 1.21,
>>> np.can_cast(np.dtype("datetime64[ns]"), Time, casting="unsafe")
False
>>> np.can_cast(Time, np.dtype("datetime64[ns]"), casting="unsafe")
False
>>> a.astype("datetime64[ns]")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Cannot cast array data from dtype(Time) to dtype('<M8[ns]') according to the rule 'unsafe'I assume this has something to do with NEP 42, though I don't understand it well enough to understand whether there is now a different mechanism available for adding conversions to/from datetime64.
Reproduce the code example:
import numpy
import ora
numpy.array([ora.now()]).astype("datetime64[ns]")Error message:
