105769555,MDExOlB1bGxSZXF1ZXN0MTA1NzY5NTU1,1261,closed,0,Allow for plotting dummy netCDF4.datetime objects.,5700886,"Currently, xarray/plot.py raises a `TypeError` if the data to be plotted are not among `[np.floating, np.integer, np.timedelta64, np.datetime64]`.

This PR adds `netCDF4.datetime` objects to the list of allowed data types. These occur, because xarray/conventions.py passes undecoded `netCDF4.datetime` objects if decoding to `numpy.datetime64` fails.

This is meant to eventually make `xarray.open_dataset` and `xarray.open_mfdataset` work with `pathlib.Path` objects.  I think this can be achieved as follows:

1. In `xarray.open_dataset`, cast any `pathlib.Path` object to string

2. In `xarray.open_mfdataset`, make sure to handle generators.  This is necessary, because `pathlib.Path('some-path').glob()` returns generators.

Curently, tests with Python 2 are failing, because there is no explicit `pathlib` dependency yet.

With Python 3, everything seems to work.  I am not happy with the tests I've added so far, though.",2017-08-21T18:21:34Z,2017-09-01T15:31:59Z,2017-09-01T15:31:52Z,2017-09-01T15:31:52Z,4a15cfa6f3e680af6969f3e2c6a375e2cc8c3288,,,0,791ba5b2430d45780c0e59b0664892a644f0a7df,4571d60859850ec121fbaae04d717754f5a35dd1,CONTRIBUTOR,,13221727,https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/1514,
