Pandas Convert Timestamp Column to Datetime

Question

Given the following data frame and necessary wrangling:

import pandas as pd
df=pd.DataFrame({\'A\':[\'a\',\'b\',\'c\'],
        \'dates\':[\'2015-08-31 00:00         


        

Answer 1

You can use dt.date to return a datetime.date object:

In [3]:
set(df['dates'].dt.date)

Out[3]:
{datetime.date(2015, 8, 24),
 datetime.date(2015, 8, 25),
 datetime.date(2015, 8, 31)}
