Python Pandas - Format and return the string representation of the Period object
To format and return the string representation of the Period object, use the period.strftime() method. With that, set the format specifiers as an argument like strftime('%d-%b-%Y').
At first, import the required libraries −
import pandas as pd
The pandas.Period represents a period of time. Creating a Period object
period = pd.Period(freq="S", year = 2021, month = 9, day = 18, hour = 8, minute = 20, second = 45)
Display the Period object
print("Period...\n", period)Display the formatted string representation
print("\nString representation (format)...\n", period.strftime('%d-%b-%Y'))
Example
Following is the code
import pandas as pd
# The pandas.Period represents a period of time
# Creating a Period object
period = pd.Period(freq="S", year = 2021, month = 9, day = 18, hour = 8, minute = 20, second = 45)
# display the Period object
print("Period...\n", period)
# display the result
print("\nString representation (format)...\n", period.strftime('%d-%b-%Y'))
# display the result
print("\nString representation (format with different directives)...\n",
period.strftime('%b. %d, %Y was a %A'))Output
This will produce the following code
Period... 2021-09-18 08:20:45 String representation (format)... 18-Sep-2021 String representation (format with different directives)... Sep. 18, 2021 was a Saturday
