Converting pandas.tslib.Timestamp to datetime python

Question

I have a df time series. I extracted the indexes and want to convert them each to datetime. How do you go about doing that? I tried to use pa

As an alternative solution if you have two separate fields (one for date; one for time):

Convert to datetime.date

df['date2'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date']).apply(lambda x: x.date())

Convert to datetime.time

df['time2'] = pd.to_datetime(df['time']).apply(lambda x: x.time())

Afterwards you can combine them:

df['datetime'] = df.apply(lambda r : pd.datetime.combine(r['date2'],r['time2']),1)
