I have sliced the pandas dataframe end_date = df[-1:]['end']
type(end_date) Out[4]: pandas.core.series.Series end_date Out[3]: 48173 2017-09-20 04:47:59 Name: end, dtype: datetime64[ns] 1. How to get rid of index value 48173 and get only "2017-09-20 04:47:59" string? I have to call REST API with "2017-09-20 04:47:59" as a parameter, so I have to get string from pandas datetime64 series. 2. How to get rid of index value 48173 and get only datetime object [something like datetime.datetime.strptime('2017-09-20 04:47:59', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')]. Later I will have to check if '2017-09-20 04:47:59' < datetime.datetime(2017,1,9) How to do these conversions? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
