computing the mean for python datetime

Question

I have a datetime attribute:

d = {
    \'DOB\': pd.Series([
        datetime.datetime(2014, 7, 9),
        datetime.datetime(2014, 7, 15),
        np.datetim         


        

Answer 1

You can convert epoch time using astype with np.int64 and converting back to datetime with pd.to_datetime:

pd.to_datetime(df_test.DOB.dropna().astype(np.int64).mean())

Output:

Timestamp('2014-07-12 00:00:00')
