Python Pandas - Return the Timestamp representation of the Period object

To return the Timestamp representation of the Period object, use the period.to_timestamp() method.

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 = 17, minute = 20, second = 45)

Display the Period object

print("Period...\n", period)

Return the Timestamp representation of the Period object. We have set the frequency using the "freq" parameter

print("\nPeriod to Timestamp...\n", period.to_timestamp(freq='T'))

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 = 17, minute = 20, second = 45)

# display the Period object
print("Period...\n", period)

# Return the Timestamp representation of the Period object
# We have set the frequency using the "freq" parameter
print("\nPeriod to Timestamp...\n", period.to_timestamp(freq='T'))

Output

This will produce the following code

Period...
2021-09-18 17:20:45

Period to Timestamp...
2021-09-18 17:20:00
