Hi, I was just looking through this list for ideas on how I could better use
scipy.  My issue is that I'm working with time series data, with missing values,
that is in half-hour increments.  As far as I can tell, with the current
implementation of timeseries many operations will only work if the data has a
point for every increment of a built in frequency.  This means I have to either
put my data in hourly form, which would require averaging, or convert it to
minute frequency with missing values, which expands the size of my data by 30x.
 Is there a way around this, where I could just process half-hourly data?

Thanks for your help!  Timeseries looks like a really useful package if I can
get it to play well with my data!
