pandas.DataFrame.between_time

DataFrame.between_time(start_time, end_time, inclusive='both', axis=None)

Select values between particular times of the day (e.g., 9:00-9:30 AM).

By setting start_time to be later than end_time, you can get the times that are not between the two times.

Parameters:

start_timedatetime.time or str

Initial time as a time filter limit.

end_timedatetime.time or str

End time as a time filter limit.

inclusive{“both”, “neither”, “left”, “right”}, default “both”

Include boundaries; whether to set each bound as closed or open.

axis{0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’}, default 0

Determine range time on index or columns value. For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.

Returns:

Series or DataFrame

Data from the original object filtered to the specified dates range.

Raises:

TypeError

If the index is not a DatetimeIndex

Get just the index locations for values between particular times of the day.

Examples

>>> i = pd.date_range("2018-04-09", periods=4, freq="1D20min")
>>> ts = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2, 3, 4]}, index=i)
>>> ts
                     A
2018-04-09 00:00:00  1
2018-04-10 00:20:00  2
2018-04-11 00:40:00  3
2018-04-12 01:00:00  4

>>> ts.between_time("0:15", "0:45")
                     A
2018-04-10 00:20:00  2
2018-04-11 00:40:00  3

You get the times that are not between two times by setting start_time later than end_time:

>>> ts.between_time("0:45", "0:15")
                     A
2018-04-09 00:00:00  1
2018-04-12 01:00:00  4
