Pandas version checks

  • [X] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • [X] I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • [ ] I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: s = pd.Series([1000213, 2131232, 21312331], dtype='datetime64[s]')

In [3]: s
Out[3]: 
0   1970-01-12 13:50:13
1   1970-01-25 16:00:32
2   1970-09-04 16:05:31
dtype: datetime64[s]

In [4]: p = s.astype('datetime64[ms]')

In [6]: p
Out[6]: 
0   1970-01-12 13:50:13
1   1970-01-25 16:00:32
2   1970-09-04 16:05:31
dtype: datetime64[ms]

In [7]: s
Out[7]: 
0   1970-01-12 13:50:13
1   1970-01-25 16:00:32
2   1970-09-04 16:05:31
dtype: datetime64[s]

In [8]: pd.testing.assert_series_equal(s, p)          # Failure: Works as expected since `dtype's` are different

AssertionError: Attributes of Series are different

Attribute "dtype" are different

AssertionError: Series are different

Series values are different (100.0 %)
[index]: [0, 1, 2]
[left]:  [1000213, 2131232, 21312331]
[right]: [1000213000, 2131232000, 21312331000]

Issue Description

With the newly introduced datetime64 & timedelta64 time resolutions, it is possible to hold the identical data in different dtypes. So when we pass check_dtype=False to assert_frame_equal we expect identical data to pass and not raise an error.

Expected Behavior

In [9]: pd.testing.assert_series_equal(s, p, check_dtype=False) # Passes.

In [10]: pd.testing.assert_series_equal(s, p, check_dtype=True) # Raises error
