Python | Pandas Timestamp.isoformat

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 objects represent date and time values, making them essential for working with temporal data.

Pandas Timestamp.isoformat Syntax

Pandas Timestamp.isoformat() function is used to convert the given Timestamp object into the ISO format.

Syntax : Timestamp.isoformat()

Parameters : None

Return : date time as a string

Timestamp.isoformat in Pandas Example

It will print the original Timestamp object, convert it to the ISO 8601 format, and print the ISO 8601 timestamp. It also produces a Timestamp object with a specified date, time, and timezone.

Python3

import pandas as pd

# Create a Timestamp object in ISO format
time_stamp_obj = pd.Timestamp('2015-06-26 07:35:00', tz='Asia/Kolkata')

# Print the Timestamp object
print("Timestamp Object:", time_stamp_obj)

# Convert the Timestamp object to ISO format
iso_8601 = time_stamp_obj.isoformat()
print("ISO 8601 Format:", iso_8601)

Output:

Timestamp Object: 2015-06-26 07:35:00+05:30
ISO 8601 Format: 2015-06-26T07:35:00+05:30

Example 1

Use Timestamp.isoformat() function to convert the date in the given Timestamp object to ISO format.

Python3

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Create the Timestamp object
ts = pd.Timestamp(year = 2011,  month = 11, day = 21,
                  hour = 10, second = 49, tz = 'US/Central')

# Print the Timestamp object
print(ts)

Output :

2011-11-21 10:00:49-06:00

Now we will use the Timestamp.isoformat() function to convert the date in the given Timestamp object to ISO format.

Python3

# convert to ISO format
ts.isoformat()

Output:

'2011-11-21T10:00:49-06:00'

As we can see in the output, the Timestamp.isoformat() function has returned the date in the ISO format.

Example 2

Use Timestamp.isoformat() function to convert the date in the given Timestamp object to ISO format.

Python3

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Create the Timestamp object
ts = pd.Timestamp(year = 2009, month = 5, day = 31,
                  hour = 4, second = 49, tz = 'Europe/Berlin')

# Print the Timestamp object
print(ts)

Output:

2009-05-31 04:00:49+02:00

Now we will use the Timestamp.isoformat() function to convert the date in the given Timestamp object to ISO format.

Python3

# convert to ISO format
ts.isoformat()

Output:

'2009-05-31T04:00:49+02:00'

As we can see in the output, the Timestamp.isoformat() function has returned the date in the ISO format.
