How to get unit/resolution of NumPy np.timedelta64 object

In order to get the unit (e.g. us, ms, ns, …) of a np.timedelta64 object like

my_timedelta = np.timedelta64(625, 'us') # Unit is 'us'

first install my Python 3 UliEngineering library using

pip install -U UliEngineering

and then use timedelta64_unit() from UliEngineering.Utils.NumPy like this:

import numpy as np
from UliEngineering.Utils.NumPy import *

my_timedelta = np.timedelta64(625, 'us')
print(timedelta64_resolution(my_timedelta)) # Prints "us"
