convert_objects
(convert_dates=True, convert_numeric=False, convert_timedeltas=True, copy=True)[source]¶ Attempt to infer better dtype for object columns.
Deprecated since version 0.21.0.
Parameters: - convert_dates : boolean, default True
If True, convert to date where possible. If ‘coerce’, force conversion, with unconvertible values becoming NaT.
- convert_numeric : boolean, default False
If True, attempt to coerce to numbers (including strings), with unconvertible values becoming NaN.
- convert_timedeltas : boolean, default True
If True, convert to timedelta where possible. If ‘coerce’, force conversion, with unconvertible values becoming NaT.
- copy : boolean, default True
If True, return a copy even if no copy is necessary (e.g. no conversion was done). Note: This is meant for internal use, and should not be confused with inplace.
Returns: - converted : same as input object
