When doing a re-sample, loffset has no effect if a numpy.timedelta64 is passed in:
In [1]: rng = pd.date_range('1/1/2012', periods=4, freq='S')
In [2]: ts = pd.Series(np.random.randint(0, 500, len(rng)), index=rng)
In [3]: ts.resample('2S')
Out[3]:
2012-01-01 00:00:00 396.0
2012-01-01 00:00:02 214.5
Freq: 2S, dtype: float64
In [4]: import datetime
In [5]: ts.resample('2S',loffset=datetime.timedelta(seconds=10))
Out[5]:
2012-01-01 00:00:10 396.0
2012-01-01 00:00:12 214.5
dtype: float64
In [6]: ts.resample('2S',loffset=np.timedelta64(10,'s'))
Out[6]:
2012-01-01 00:00:00 396.0
2012-01-01 00:00:02 214.5
Freq: 2S, dtype: float64
