# pandas.arrays.DatetimeArray

class pandas.arrays.DatetimeArray(values, dtype=None, freq=<no_default>, copy=False)

  Pandas ExtensionArray for tz-naive or tz-aware datetime data.

  Warning

  DatetimeArray is currently experimental, and its API may change without warning. In particular, `DatetimeArray.dtype` is expected to change to always be an instance of an `ExtensionDtype` subclass.

  Parameters:
    valuesSeries, Index, DatetimeArray, ndarray

      The datetime data.

      For DatetimeArray values (or a Series or Index boxing one), dtype and freq will be extracted from values.

    dtypenumpy.dtype or DatetimeTZDtype

      Note that the only NumPy dtype allowed is ‘datetime64[ns]’.

    freqstr or Offset, optional

      The frequency.

    copybool, default False

      Whether to copy the underlying array of values.
