DataFrame的Python工作日下降

Question

I try to drop the weekdays from a dataframe (financial time series) and I keep getting the following error:

"AttributeError: 'Series' object has no attribute 'weekday'"

Here is my code:

df = df[df.date.weekday()  < 5]
df = df.drop(df.date.weekday() < 5)

I tried a few others but nothing seemed to work.

I looked at dtypes and this is what I get:

Unnamed: 0           int64
close              float32
date                object
high               float64
low                float64
open               float64
quoteVolume        float64
volume             float64
weightedAverage    float64
dtype: object

So date is an object, but I can't transform it to datetime, I tried these:

df['date'] = df.date.astype('date')
df['date'] = df.date.astype('datetime')

both gave me the error:

TypeError: data type "date" not understood

The time format of the Series is: 2016-09-23 17:00:00 so yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss .

Answer 1

Use pd.to_datetime :

import pandas as pd
df = df[pd.to_datetime(df.date).dt.weekday < 5]
