Examples

Create an instance of timestamp type:

>>>importpyarrowaspa>>>pa.timestamp('us')TimestampType(timestamp[us])>>>pa.timestamp('s',tz='America/New_York')TimestampType(timestamp[s, tz=America/New_York])>>>pa.timestamp('s',tz='+07:30')TimestampType(timestamp[s, tz=+07:30])

Use timestamp type when creating a scalar object:

>>>fromdatetimeimportdatetime>>>pa.scalar(datetime(2012,1,1),type=pa.timestamp('s',tz='UTC'))<pyarrow.TimestampScalar: '2012-01-01T00:00:00+0000'>>>>pa.scalar(datetime(2012,1,1),type=pa.timestamp('us'))<pyarrow.TimestampScalar: '2012-01-01T00:00:00.000000'>
