Er…
https://github.com/pierregm/scikits.timeseries/
https://github.com/pierregm/scikits.timeseries-sandbox/

the second one is actually a branch of the first one (I know, it's silly with git, but I was only learning at the time), that provides some new functionalities like a 'time step' in addition to the 'time unit' (so that you can define regular series w/ one entry every 5min, say), but is not completely baked on the C side (I had some issues subclassing the C ndarray).

That's an idea.
