thanks!

note pls have a look at the built docs (may take a bit for it to generate) http://pandas-docs.github.io/pandas-docs-travis/

want to make sure that searching works ok.

Then of course we want to enhance doc-strings where appropriate (which is already an outstanding issue IIRC), if you are interested.
http://pandas-docs.github.io/pandas-docs-travis/api.html#scalars

couple of corrections needed

``Timedelta.is_populated`` should be removed (that's really an internal property. we should renamed it actually to _is_populated)
``Timestamp.from_ordinal`` is not spelled correctly (``.fromordinal`` is the method)
``Timdelta.to_pytimedelta`` misspelling
``Timedelta.view``, exclude this
``Timedelta.delta`` exclude
