pandas 1.4.2

ParametersReturns
maybe_infer_to_datetimelike(value: 'np.ndarray') -> 'np.ndarray | DatetimeArray | TimedeltaArray | PeriodArray | IntervalArray'

this is pretty strict in that a datetime/timedelta is REQUIRED in addition to possible nulls/string likes

Parameters

value : np.ndarray[object]

Returns

np.ndarray, DatetimeArray, TimedeltaArray, PeriodArray, or IntervalArray

we might have a array (or single object) that is datetime like, and no dtype is passed don't change the value unless we find a datetime/timedelta set

Examples

See :

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
