How do I convert timestamp to datetime.date in pandas dataframe?

Question

I need to merge 2 pandas dataframes together on dates, but they currently have different date types. 1 is timestamp (imported from excel) and the other is datetime.dat

Answer 1

Another question was marked as dupe pointing to this, but it didn't include this answer, which seems the most straightforward (perhaps this method did not yet exist when this question was posted/answered):

The pandas doc shows a pandas.Timestamp.to_pydatetime method to "Convert a Timestamp object to a native Python datetime object".
