pandas.DatetimeIndex

class pandas.DatetimeIndex

Immutable ndarray of datetime64 data, represented internally as int64, and which can be boxed to Timestamp objects that are subclasses of datetime and carry metadata such as frequency information.

Parameters :

data : array-like (1-dimensional), optional

Optional datetime-like data to construct index with

copy : bool

Make a copy of input ndarray

freq : string or pandas offset object, optional

One of pandas date offset strings or corresponding objects

start : starting value, datetime-like, optional

If data is None, start is used as the start point in generating regular timestamp data.

periods : int, optional, > 0

Number of periods to generate, if generating index. Takes precedence over end argument

end : end time, datetime-like, optional

If periods is none, generated index will extend to first conforming time on or just past end argument

closed : string or None, default None

Make the interval closed with respect to the given frequency to the ‘left’, ‘right’, or both sides (None)

tz : pytz.timezone or dateutil.tz.tzfile

ambiguous : ‘infer’, bool-ndarray, ‘NaT’, default ‘raise’

• ‘infer’ will attempt to infer fall dst-transition hours based on order
• bool-ndarray where True signifies a DST time, False signifies a non-DST time (note that this flag is only applicable for ambiguous times)
• ‘NaT’ will return NaT where there are ambiguous times
• ‘raise’ will raise an AmbiguousTimeError if there are ambiguous times

infer_dst : boolean, default False (DEPRECATED)

Attempt to infer fall dst-transition hours based on order

name : object

Name to be stored in the index
