Signature

class   datetime64 ( value = None / * args )

Summary

If created from a 64-bit integer, it represents an offset from 1970-01-01T00:00:00. If created from string, the string can be in ISO 8601 date or datetime format.

Extended Summary

When parsing a string to create a datetime object, if the string contains a trailing timezone (A 'Z' or a timezone offset), the timezone will be dropped and a User Warning is given.

Datetime64 objects should be considered to be UTC and therefore have an offset of +0000.
