pandas timestamp to string
Consider the dataframe df
df = pd.DataFrame(dict(timestamp=pd.to_datetime(['2000-01-01'])))
df
timestamp
0 2000-01-01
Use the datetime accessor dt to access the strftime method. You can pass a format string to strftime and it will return a formatted string. When used with the dt accessor you will get a series of strings.
df.timestamp.dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
0 2000-01-01
Name: timestamp, dtype: object
Visit strftime.org for a handy set of format strings.
