Would using something like is_number(label) and not is_timedelta64_dtype(label) be more appropriate here?

Right now it looks like a few things can sneak through, e.g. booleans:

In [2]: s = pd.Series(list('abcde'), pd.timedelta_range(0, 4, freq='ns'))

In [3]: s
Out[3]:
00:00:00           a
00:00:00.000000    b
00:00:00.000000    c
00:00:00.000000    d
00:00:00.000000    e
Freq: N, dtype: object

In [4]: s.loc[False:True]
Out[4]:
00:00:00           a
00:00:00.000000    b
Freq: N, dtype: object

This doesn't seem like the intended behavior, and is_number returns True for booleans.

is_number is pretty general, technically a bool is a number (as it derives from int, as does np.timedelta).

is_number is pretty general

Yes, this was the point I was trying to make. The current approach here doesn't look general enough, as things like booleans are still allowed, as per my example. Seems like using is_number(label) and not is_timedelta64_dtype(label) would catch this appropriately.

Yes, this is a gotcha. See numpy/numpy#10685 for the upstream numpy issue.

@jreback : Will do. Looking into this now more generally across various types of indexes.
