  	.. note:: Due to a
  	`known bug in pandas <https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/38509>`_,
  	timedelta strings cannot currently be converted back to timedelta64 type via the
  	``dtype`` parameter. Use the ``pandas.to_timedelta`` function instead:
  	>>> df.play_time = pd.to_timedelta(df.play_time)
  	>>> df.info()
  	<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
  	RangeIndex: 2 entries, 0 to 1
  	Data columns (total 5 columns):
  	# Column Non-Null Count Dtype
  	--- ------ -------------- -----
  	0 bonus_points 1 non-null Int8
  	1 player_id 2 non-null object
  	2 last_play 2 non-null datetime64[ns, UTC]
  	3 rating 2 non-null float64
  	4 play_time 2 non-null timedelta64[ns]
  	dtypes: Int8(1), datetime64[ns, UTC](1), float64(1), object(1), timedelta64[ns](1)
