Python | Pandas Timedelta.delta

Python is a great language for doing data analysis, primarily because of the fantastic ecosystem of data-centric python packages. Pandas is one of those packages and makes importing and analyzing data much easier.

Timedelta is a subclass of datetime.timedelta, and behaves in a similar manner. It is the pandas equivalent of python’s datetime.timedelta and is interchangeable with it in most cases. Timedelta.delta property in pandas.Timedelta is used to return the timedelta in nanoseconds.

Syntax: Timedelta.delta

Parameters: None

Returns: return the timedelta in nanoseconds

Code #1:

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Create the Timedelta object
td = pd.Timedelta('3 days 06:05:01.000030')

# Print the Timedelta object
print(td)

print(td.delta)

Output:

3 days 06:05:01.000030
281101000030000

Code #2:

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Create the Timedelta object
td = pd.Timedelta('1 days 7 hours')

# Print the Timedelta object
print(td)

print(td.delta)

Output:

1 days 07:00:00
111600000000000

Code #3:

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
import datetime

# Create the Timedelta object
td = pd.Timedelta(datetime.timedelta(days = 3, hours = 7, seconds = 8))

# Print the Timedelta object
print(td)

print(td.delta)

Output:

3 days 07:00:08
284408000000000
