Python/Pandas convert string to time only

Question

I have the following Pandas dataframe in Python 2.7.

import pandas as pd
trial_num = [1,2,3,4,5]
sail_rem_time = [\'11:33:11\',\'16:29:05\',\'09:37:56\',\'21         


        

Answer 1

Using to_timedelta,we can convert string to time format(timedelta64[ns]) by specifying units as second,min etc.,

dfc['Time_of_Sail'] = pd.to_timedelta(dfc['Time_of_Sail'], unit='s')
