I don't seem to need the import, but to clarify things, I've added more to the description.

>>> s
0 0 days
1 1 days
2 2 days
3 3 days
4 4 days
dtype: timedelta64[ns]

>>> s.dt.to_pytimedelta()
array([datetime.timedelta(0), datetime.timedelta(1),
datetime.timedelta(2), datetime.timedelta(3),
datetime.timedelta(4)], dtype=object)
