Pandas - convert strings to time without date

Question

I\'ve read loads of SO answers but can\'t find a clear solution.

I have this data in a df called day1 which represents hours:

1    10:53         


        

Answer 1

You can use to_timedelta

pd.to_timedelta(df+':00')
Out[353]: 
1   10:53:00
2   12:17:00
3   14:46:00
4   16:36:00
5   18:39:00
6   20:31:00
7   22:28:00
Name: Time, dtype: timedelta64[ns]
