Python Pandas - Get the quarter of the year from Period object

To get the quarter of the year component of the Period, use the period.quarter property. At first, import the required libraries −

import pandas as pd

The pandas.Period represents a period of time. Creating two Period objects

period1 = pd.Period("2020-02-27 08:32:48")
period2 = pd.Period(freq="M", year = 2021, month = 8, day = 16, hour = 2, minute = 35)

Display the Period objects

print("Period1...\n", period1)
print("Period2...\n", period2)

Get the quarter of the year from two Period objects

res1 = period1.quarter
res2 = period2.quarter

Result is based on the following quarters of an year

Quarter 1 = 1st January to 31st March
Quarter 2 = 1st April to 30th June
Quarter 3 = 1st July to 30th September
Quarter 4 = 1st October to 31st December

Example

Following is the code

import pandas as pd

# The pandas.Period represents a period of time
# creating two Period objects
period1 = pd.Period("2020-02-27 08:32:48")
period2 = pd.Period(freq="M", year = 2021, month = 8, day = 16, hour = 2, minute = 35)

# display the Period objects
print("Period1...\n", period1)
print("Period2...\n", period2)

# get the quarter of the year from two Period objects
res1 = period1.quarter
res2 = period2.quarter

# Return the quarter from the two Period objects
# Result is based on the following quarters of an year:
# Quarter 1 = 1st January to 31st March
# Quarter 2 = 1st April to 30th June
# Quarter 3 = 1st July to 30th September
# Quarter 4 = 1st October to 31st December
print("\nQuarter from the 1st Period object ...\n", res1)
print("\nQuarter from the 2nd Period object...\n", res2)

Output

This will produce the following code

Period1...
2020-02-27 08:32:48
Period2...
2021-08

Quarter from the 1st Period object ...
1

Quarter from the 2nd Period object...
