Python | Pandas Timestamp.dst

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.

Pandas Timestamp.dst() function return a timedelta object which contains self.tzinfo.dst(self) value. It returns the Daylight Saving Time for the timezone of the given Timestamp object.

Syntax : Timestamp.dst()

Parameters : None

Example #1: Use Timestamp.dst() function to find the Daylight Saving Time for the given Timestamp object.

# importing pandas as pd 
import pandas as pd

ts = pd.Timestamp('2015-03-31 15:47:25.901597', tz = 'US/Eastern') 
  
# Print the Timestamp object 
print(ts) 

Output :

Now we will use the Timestamp.dst() function to find the dst of the given object.

# return the dst

        hour = 4, second = 49, tz = 'Europe/Berlin') 
  
# Print the Timestamp object 
print(ts) 

Output :

Now we will use the Timestamp.dst() function to find the dst of the given object.
