Reading CSV File using Numpy

from numpy import genfromtxt
dataPoints = genfromtxt(temp.csv, dtype='datetime64[D],i8',delimiter=' ')

CSV File: temp.csv

2014-05-19 10
2014-05-20 11
2014-05-21 12

Output from print(dataPoints)

[ nan  10.]
[ nan  11.]
[ nan  12.]

Just tell NumPy what types to expect. E.g.:

>>> genfromtxt('temp.csv', dtype='datetime64[D],i8')
array([(datetime.date(2014, 5, 19), 10L),
       (datetime.date(2014, 5, 20), 11L), (datetime.date(2014, 5, 21), 12L)], 
      dtype=[('f0', '<M8[D]'), ('f1', '<i8')])
