Python Pandas - Return the microseconds from Timedelta object using string input

To return the microseconds from a Timedelta object, use the timedelta.microseconds property. This property extracts only the microseconds component from the timedelta.

Creating a Timedelta with Microseconds

First, import pandas and create a Timedelta object using string input with microseconds ?

import pandas as pd

# Create a Timedelta object with microseconds
timedelta = pd.Timedelta('12 min 40 us')

# Display the Timedelta
print("Timedelta...")
print(timedelta)

Timedelta...
0 days 00:12:00.000040

Extracting Microseconds

Use the microseconds property to get only the microseconds component ?

import pandas as pd

# Create a Timedelta object with microseconds
timedelta = pd.Timedelta('12 min 40 us')

# Return the microseconds value
microseconds_value = timedelta.microseconds

print("Timedelta:", timedelta)
print("Microseconds component:", microseconds_value)

Timedelta: 0 days 00:12:00.000040
Microseconds component: 40

Multiple Microseconds Examples

Here are examples with different microsecond values ?

import pandas as pd

# Create different Timedelta objects with microseconds
timedeltas = [
    pd.Timedelta('5 seconds 100 us'),
    pd.Timedelta('1 hour 500 us'),
    pd.Timedelta('2 days 750 us')
]

for td in timedeltas:
    print(f"Timedelta: {td}")
    print(f"Microseconds: {td.microseconds}")
    print()

Timedelta: 0 days 00:00:05.000100
Microseconds: 100

Timedelta: 0 days 01:00:00.000500
Microseconds: 500

Timedelta: 2 days 00:00:00.000750
Microseconds: 750

Key Points

Conclusion

The microseconds property extracts only the microseconds component from a Timedelta object. Use string input with 'us' unit to specify microseconds when creating Timedelta objects.
