Typeerror unsupported type for timedelta days component numpy int32 – Python

The timedelta class in Python’s datetime module is used to represent a duration, or a difference between two dates or times. It has several attributes, including days, which is used to store the number of days in the duration.

The error unsupported type for timedelta days component numpy int32 suggests that you are trying to pass a numpy.int32 object as the value for the days attribute of a timedelta object, but timedelta only supports integer values.

To fix this error, you will need to convert the numpy.int32 object to a regular Python int object before passing it to timedelta. You can do this using the .item() method of the numpy.int32 object, which returns the value as a Python int.

For example:

import numpy as np

# Create a numpy int32 object
numpy_int32 = np.int32(7)

# Convert to a Python int
python_int = numpy_int32.item()

# Create a timedelta using the Python int
duration = datetime.timedelta(days=python_int)

Alternatively, you can use the .astype() method of the numpy.int32 object to cast it to a Python int:

import numpy as np

# Create a numpy int32 object
numpy_int32 = np.int32(7)

# Convert to a Python int
python_int = numpy_int32.astype(int)

# Create a timedelta using the Python int
duration = datetime.timedelta(days=python_int)
