pandas.tseries.offsets.BusinessHour#

class pandas.tseries.offsets.BusinessHour#

DateOffset subclass representing possibly n business hours.

Parameters:

nint, default 1: The number of hours represented.
normalizebool, default False: Normalize start/end dates to midnight before generating date range.
startstr, time, or list of str/time, default “09:00”: Start time of your custom business hour in 24h format.
endstr, time, or list of str/time, default: “17:00”: End time of your custom business hour in 24h format.
offsettimedelta, default timedelta(0): Time offset to apply.

Examples

You can use the parameter n to represent a shift of n hours.

>>> ts = pd.Timestamp(2022, 12, 9, 8)
>>> ts + pd.offsets.BusinessHour(n=5)
Timestamp('2022-12-09 14:00:00')

You can also change the start and the end of business hours.

>>> ts = pd.Timestamp(2022, 8, 5, 16)
>>> ts + pd.offsets.BusinessHour(start="11:00")
Timestamp('2022-08-08 11:00:00')

>>> from datetime import time as dt_time
>>> ts = pd.Timestamp(2022, 8, 5, 22)
>>> ts + pd.offsets.BusinessHour(end=dt_time(19, 0))
Timestamp('2022-08-08 10:00:00')

Passing the parameter normalize equal to True, you shift the start of the next business hour to midnight.

>>> ts = pd.Timestamp(2022, 12, 9, 8)
>>> ts + pd.offsets.BusinessHour(normalize=True)
Timestamp('2022-12-09 00:00:00')

You can divide your business day hours into several parts.

>>> import datetime as dt
>>> freq = pd.offsets.BusinessHour(start=["06:00", "10:00", "15:00"],
...                                end=["08:00", "12:00", "17:00"])
>>> pd.date_range(dt.datetime(2022, 12, 9), dt.datetime(2022, 12, 13), freq=freq)
DatetimeIndex(['2022-12-09 06:00:00', '2022-12-09 07:00:00',
               '2022-12-09 10:00:00', '2022-12-09 11:00:00',
               '2022-12-09 15:00:00', '2022-12-09 16:00:00',
               '2022-12-12 06:00:00', '2022-12-12 07:00:00',
               '2022-12-12 10:00:00', '2022-12-12 11:00:00',
               '2022-12-12 15:00:00', '2022-12-12 16:00:00'],
               dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='bh')
