Pandas dt.to_pydatetime() method returns the data as an array of native Python DateTime objects. Timezone information is retained if present.
Example
Python3
import pandas as pd
sr = pd.Series([ '2012-12-31' , '2019-1-1 12:30' , '2008-02-2 10:30' ,
'2010-1-1 09:25' , '2019-12-31 00:00' ])
idx = [ 'Day 1' , 'Day 2' , 'Day 3' , 'Day 4' , 'Day 5' ]
sr.index = idx
sr = pd.to_datetime(sr)
result = sr.dt.to_pydatetime()
print (result)

Output :
Syntax
Syntax: Series.dt.to_pydatetime()Â
Parameter: NoneÂ
Returns: numpy ndarray
How to Convert Pandas DateTime Objects into Python DateTime Objects
To convert a Pandas Series DateTime object into a Python DateTime object we use the Series.dt.to_pydatetime method.
Let us understand it better with an example:
Example:
Use the Series.dt.to_pydatetime() function to return the given series object as an array of native Python DateTime objects.
Python3
import pandas as pd
sr = pd.Series(pd.date_range( '2012-12-31 00:00' , periods = 5 , freq = 'D' ,
tz = 'US / Central' ))
idx = [ 'Day 1' , 'Day 2' , 'Day 3' , 'Day 4' , 'Day 5' ]
sr.index = idx
print (sr)
|
Output :
Now we will use the dt.to_pydatetime() function to return the data as an array of native Python DateTime objects.
Python3
result = sr.dt.to_pydatetime()
print (result)
|
Output :
As we can see in the output, the Series.dt.to_pydatetime() function has successfully returned the underlying data of the given series object as an array of native Python DateTime data.
