error:

OutOfBoundsDatetime: Out of bounds nanosecond timestamp: 1020-04-29 00:00:00

Answer 1

Here is a proposition with pandas.to_datetime :

out = (
        df
          .join(df["week/year"].str.split("/", expand=True))
          .assign(date= lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x.pop(1).astype(str) + x.pop(0).astype(str) + "1",
                                                 format='%G%V%w').dt.strftime("%d-%m-%Y"))
      )
​

# Output:

print(out)

  week/year        date
0   10/2018  05-03-2018

DataFrame used:

print(df)

  week/year
0   10/2018
