pyarrow.compute.strptime#
- pyarrow.compute.strptime(strings,/,format,unit,error_is_null=False,*,options=None,memory_pool=None)#
Parse timestamps.
For each string instrings, parse it as a timestamp.The timestamp unit and the expected string pattern must be givenin StrptimeOptions. Null inputs emit null. If a non-null stringfails parsing, an error is returned by default.
- Parameters:
- stringsArray-like or scalar-like
Argument to compute function.
- format
str Pattern for parsing input strings as timestamps, such as “%Y/%m/%d”.Note that the semantics of the format follow the C/C++ strptime, not the Python one.There are differences in behavior, for example how the “%y” placeholderhandles years with less than four digits.
- unit
str Timestamp unit of the output.Accepted values are “s”, “ms”, “us”, “ns”.
- error_is_nullbool, default
False Return null on parsing errors if true or raise if false.
- options
pyarrow.compute.StrptimeOptions, optional Alternative way of passing options.
- memory_pool
pyarrow.MemoryPool, optional If not passed, will allocate memory from the default memory pool.
