In [8]: pd.to_timedelta('1', unit='h')
Out[8]: Timedelta('0 days 00:00:00.000000')Problem description
I would expect all the following to return Timedelta('0 days 01:00:00'). pd.to_timedelta(1, unit='h') does not. I must first cast the string '1' to a int or float then to a timedelta.
In [6]: pd.to_timedelta(1.0, unit='h')
Out[6]: Timedelta('0 days 01:00:00')
In [7]: pd.to_timedelta(1, unit='h')
Out[7]: Timedelta('0 days 01:00:00')
In [8]: pd.to_timedelta('1', unit='h')
Out[8]: Timedelta('0 days 00:00:00.000000')
In [9]: pd.to_timedelta('1 H')
Out[9]: Timedelta('0 days 01:00:00')
Expected Output
Output of pd.show_versions()
