floats and ints missing as acceptable arguments for pandas.to_datetime in API Reference

[radekholy24]

A small, complete example of the issue

http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/generated/pandas.to_datetime.html says:

arg : string, datetime, list, tuple, 1-d array, Series

While http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/timeseries.html#epoch-timestamps says that ints and floats are accepted as well.

Expected Output

int and float to be in the list

Output of pd.show_versions()

pandas: 0.19.0

That is correct. Pull request to update the docstring is very welcome!

[souravsingh]

I would like to work on the issue. Which files need updating?

[jorisvandenbossche]

you need to look for the source of the to_datetime function, this is located in tseries/tools (you can inspect the function to see that, just type pd.to_datetime in a console)

[patniharshit]

I would like to take this up. Just one doubt that I have to just update the doc string of to_datetime function to include integer and float as well ?

[jreback]

yep
