Get Month from date in Pandas – Python

Pandas has many inbuilt methods that can be used to extract the month from a given date that are being generated randomly using the random function or by using Timestamp function or that are transformed to date format using the to_datetimefunction. Let’s see few examples for better understanding.

Example 1




import pandas as pd
  
  
dti = pd.date_range('2020-07-01', periods = 4, freq ='M')
print(dti.month)

Output:
Int64Index([7, 8, 9, 10], dtype='int64')

Example 2




import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import datetime
  
date1 = pd.Series(pd.date_range('2020-7-1 12:00:00', periods = 5))
df = pd.DataFrame(dict(date_given = date1))
  
df['month_of_date'] = df['date_given'].dt.month
df

Output:

Example 3




import pandas as pd
import datetime
import numpy as np
  
  
dates =['14 / 05 / 2017', '2017', '07 / 09 / 2017']
  
frame = pd.to_datetime(dates, dayfirst = True)
frame = pd.DataFrame([frame]).transpose()
frame['date']= frame
frame['month']= frame['date'].dt.month
frame.drop(0, axis = 1, inplace = True)
  
frame

Output:
