将 Pandas 系列转换为 DataFrame 中的 DateTime

Question

I have a Pandas DataFrame as below

        ReviewID       ID      Type               TimeReviewed
205     76032930  51936827  ReportID 2015-01-15 00:05:27.513000
232     76032930  51936854  ReportID 2015-01-15 00:06:46.703000
233     76032930  51936855  ReportID 2015-01-15 00:06:56.707000
413     76032930  51937035  ReportID 2015-01-15 00:14:24.957000
565     76032930  51937188  ReportID 2015-01-15 00:23:07.220000

>>> type(df)
<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>

TimeReviewed is a series type

>>> type(df.TimeReviewed)
<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>

I've tried below, but it still doesn't change the Series type

import pandas as pd
review = pd.to_datetime(pd.Series(df.TimeReviewed))
>>> type(review)
<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>

How can I change the df.TimeReviewed to DateTime type and pull out year, month, day, hour, min, sec separately? I'm kinda new to python, thanks for your help.

Answer 1

You can't: DataFrame columns are Series , by definition. That said, if you make the dtype (the type of all the elements) datetime-like, then you can access the quantities you want via the .dt accessor ( docs ):

>>> df["TimeReviewed"] = pd.to_datetime(df["TimeReviewed"])
>>> df["TimeReviewed"]
205  76032930   2015-01-24 00:05:27.513000
232  76032930   2015-01-24 00:06:46.703000
233  76032930   2015-01-24 00:06:56.707000
413  76032930   2015-01-24 00:14:24.957000
565  76032930   2015-01-24 00:23:07.220000
Name: TimeReviewed, dtype: datetime64[ns]
>>> df["TimeReviewed"].dt
<pandas.tseries.common.DatetimeProperties object at 0xb10da60c>
>>> df["TimeReviewed"].dt.year
205  76032930    2015
232  76032930    2015
233  76032930    2015
413  76032930    2015
565  76032930    2015
dtype: int64
>>> df["TimeReviewed"].dt.month
205  76032930    1
232  76032930    1
233  76032930    1
413  76032930    1
565  76032930    1
dtype: int64
>>> df["TimeReviewed"].dt.minute
205  76032930     5
232  76032930     6
233  76032930     6
413  76032930    14
565  76032930    23
dtype: int64

If you're stuck using an older version of pandas , you can always access the various elements manually (again, after converting it to a datetime-dtyped Series). It'll be slower, but sometimes that isn't an issue:

>>> df["TimeReviewed"].apply(lambda x: x.year)
205  76032930    2015
232  76032930    2015
233  76032930    2015
413  76032930    2015
565  76032930    2015
Name: TimeReviewed, dtype: int64

Answer 2

df=pd.read_csv("filename.csv" , parse_dates=["<column name>"])

type(df.<column name>)

example: if you want to convert day which is initially a string to a Timestamp in Pandas

df=pd.read_csv("weather_data2.csv" , parse_dates=["day"])

type(df.day)

The output will be pandas.tslib.Timestamp

Answer 3

一些方便的脚本：

hour = df['assess_time'].dt.hour.values[0]
