modin.pandas.DatetimeIndex.to_period

DatetimeIndex.to_period(freq=None) → Index[source] (https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowpark-python/blob/v1.47.0/src/snowflake/snowpark/modin/plugin/extensions/datetime_index.py#L368-L370)

Cast to PeriodArray/PeriodIndex at a particular frequency.

Converts DatetimeArray/Index to PeriodArray/PeriodIndex.

Parameters:

freq (str or Period, optional) – One of pandas’ period aliases or a Period object. Will be inferred by default.

Return type:

PeriodArray/PeriodIndex

Raises:

ValueError – When converting a DatetimeArray/Index with non-regular values, so that a frequency cannot be inferred.

Immutable ndarray holding ordinal values.

DatetimeIndex.to_pydatetime

Return DatetimeIndex as object.

Examples

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"y": [1, 2, 3]},
...                   index=pd.to_datetime(["2000-03-31 00:00:00",
...                                         "2000-05-31 00:00:00",
...                                         "2000-08-31 00:00:00"]))
>>> df.index.to_period("M")  
PeriodIndex(['2000-03', '2000-05', '2000-08'],
            dtype='period[M]')

Infer the daily frequency

>>> idx = pd.date_range("2017-01-01", periods=2)
>>> idx.to_period()  
PeriodIndex(['2017-01-01', '2017-01-02'], dtype='period[D]')
