      For instance, we may do the following: (a - b) / pd.Timedelta(hours=12) But not (a - b) * pd.Timedelta(hours=1/12)

      sure. the former results in a unitless quantity; the latter results in time squared, which timedelta cannot represent

      Right, which is not the definition of a scalar.

      Actually I know of no algebra upon which addition and subtraction and *division* is defined but multiplication is not... 🤔

      Python doesn't have a timesquared type so it omits that operator. perhaps this is an argument for actual units but those are complicated

      Indeed they are. Which is why it would be a lot more semantically rich to provide methods to support the conversions.

      Eh, I'd still want the division. Dividing periods by each other is useful.

      Sure sure -- I'm not saying *remove* that capability. But .to_hours() should be supported.

      I disagree - then you end up with to_years, to_months, to_weeks, to_days, to_hours, to_minutes, to_seconds, to_miliseconds...

      It's redundant, and dividing by an hour is exactly how you'd do things mathematically

      Who cares about redundancy? Readability is better than "how you'd do things mathematically."

          In other words, we have dozens of redundant things hanging around. Why is this one suddenly bad?

          As a maintainer I care about redundancy enormously. I work on CPUs which involve lots of redundancy by necessity and it fucking sucks.

          Copy & pasted & slightly modified code is a a complete and utter pox and a continual source of bugs

          And notwithstanding, this very simple script has *three* separate libraries for handling time. stdlib, numpy, and pandas. So... /shrug

          I did, but I still see no issue with using division to do it

          I can name three other practices that this violates, but also the general point should be "why are we reimplementing existing stuff?"
