Python Pandas - Return the seconds from Timedelta object

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

Syntax

timedelta.seconds

Creating a Timedelta Object

First, let's create a Timedelta object with various time components ?

import pandas as pd

# Create a Timedelta object with seconds, milliseconds, and nanoseconds
timedelta = pd.Timedelta('10 s 15 ms 33 ns')

print("Timedelta...")
print(timedelta)

Timedelta...
0 days 00:00:10.015000033

Extracting Seconds

Use the seconds property to get only the seconds component ?

import pandas as pd

# Create a Timedelta object
timedelta = pd.Timedelta('10 s 15 ms 33 ns')

# Extract the seconds value
seconds_value = timedelta.seconds

print("Timedelta:", timedelta)
print("Seconds component:", seconds_value)

Timedelta: 0 days 00:00:10.015000033
Seconds component: 10

Multiple Examples

Here are more examples showing different Timedelta objects ?

import pandas as pd

# Different Timedelta objects
td1 = pd.Timedelta('2 hours 30 minutes 45 seconds')
td2 = pd.Timedelta('1 day 5 seconds')
td3 = pd.Timedelta(seconds=25)

print("Timedelta 1:", td1)
print("Seconds:", td1.seconds)
print()

print("Timedelta 2:", td2)
print("Seconds:", td2.seconds)
print()

print("Timedelta 3:", td3)
print("Seconds:", td3.seconds)

Timedelta 1: 0 days 02:30:45
Seconds: 9045

Timedelta 2: 1 days 00:00:05
Seconds: 5

Timedelta 3: 0 days 00:00:25
Seconds: 25

Key Points

• The seconds property returns only the seconds component within a day (0-86399)
• For hours and minutes, they are converted to seconds in the output
• Days are not included in the seconds count
• Milliseconds and nanoseconds are not included

Conclusion

The timedelta.seconds property extracts the seconds component from a Pandas Timedelta object. It returns the total seconds within a day, including converted hours and minutes, but excludes days and sub-second components.
