Covert datetime64[ns, UTC] to datetime64 python

Question

I have a column with datetime UTC date

2020-01-01 00:00:00+00:00   

Can someone help me to convert it to just datetime64 for eg:

2020-01-01 

Answer 1

if you use pandas (this seems to be the case) you can change it like that:

df.dates.apply(lambda x: x.date()) # where dates is your datetime column

Answer 2

Try the datetime package with Python 3.2+.

import datetime
a='2020-01-01 00:00:00+00:00'
print (datetime.datetime.strptime(a,'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z').strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))
