Not the greatest issue but: While coordinates that are given as PeriodIndexes are stored in that form, their Int representation is shown in the DataArray repr, which adds a frequent additional step to see what dates we're dealing with.

Or correct me if I'm making some basic mistake.

``` python In [23]:

data_array = xray.DataArray( data=pd.Series(np.random.rand(20), index=pd.period_range(start='2000', periods=20, name='Date')) ) data_array Out[23]: <xray.DataArray (Date: 20)> array([ 0.95861189, 0.3607297 , 0.9890032 , 0.77674314, 0.39461886, 0.98425749, 0.79044973, 0.81376587, 0.07091318, 0.02757213, 0.87366025, 0.0496346 , 0.45433931, 0.3339866 , 0.67261248, 0.91684965, 0.60889737, 0.33469611, 0.94966724, 0.50328461]) Coordinates: * Date (Date) int64 10957 10958 10959 10960 10961 10962 10963 10964 ...
