Examples
>>> s = pd.Series(pd.date_range('20180310', periods=2)) >>> s 0 2018-03-10 1 2018-03-11 dtype: datetime64[ns]
>>> s.dt.to_pydatetime() array([datetime.datetime(2018, 3, 10, 0, 0), datetime.datetime(2018, 3, 11, 0, 0)], dtype=object)
pandas’ nanosecond precision is truncated to microseconds.
>>> s = pd.Series(pd.date_range('20180310', periods=2, freq='ns')) >>> s 0 2018-03-10 00:00:00.000000000 1 2018-03-10 00:00:00.000000001 dtype: datetime64[ns]
>>> s.dt.to_pydatetime() array([datetime.datetime(2018, 3, 10, 0, 0), datetime.datetime(2018, 3, 10, 0, 0)], dtype=object)
