Pandas Time Series: Exercise-26 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to convert integer or float epoch times to Timestamp and DatetimeIndex.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
dates1 = pd.to_datetime([1329806505, 129806505, 1249892905,
                1249979305, 1250065705], unit='s')
print("Convert integer or float epoch times to Timestamp and DatetimeIndex upto second:")
print(dates1)
print("\nConvert integer or float epoch times to Timestamp and DatetimeIndex upto milisecond:")
dates2 = pd.to_datetime([1249720105100, 1249720105200, 1249720105300,
                1249720105400, 1249720105500], unit='ms')
print(dates2)

Sample Output:

Convert integer or float epoch times to Timestamp and DatetimeIndex upto second:
DatetimeIndex(['2012-02-21 06:41:45', '1974-02-11 09:21:45',
               '2009-08-10 08:28:25', '2009-08-11 08:28:25',
               '2009-08-12 08:28:25'],
              dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq=None)

Convert integer or float epoch times to Timestamp and DatetimeIndex upto milisecond:
DatetimeIndex(['2009-08-08 08:28:25.100000', '2009-08-08 08:28:25.200000',
               '2009-08-08 08:28:25.300000', '2009-08-08 08:28:25.400000',
               '2009-08-08 08:28:25.500000'],
              dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq=None)

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

The os and os.path modules.
The __file__ constant
os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
