Python pandas convert datetime to timestamp effectively through dt accessor
I think you need convert first to numpy array
by values
and cast to int64
- output is in ns
, so need divide by 10 ** 9
:
df['ts'] = df.datetime.values.astype(np.int64) // 10 ** 9print (df) datetime ts0 2016-01-01 00:00:01 14516064011 2016-01-01 01:00:01 14516100012 2016-01-01 02:00:01 14516136013 2016-01-01 03:00:01 14516172014 2016-01-01 04:00:01 14516208015 2016-01-01 05:00:01 14516244016 2016-01-01 06:00:01 14516280017 2016-01-01 07:00:01 14516316018 2016-01-01 08:00:01 14516352019 2016-01-01 09:00:01 145163880110 2016-01-01 10:00:01 145164240111 2016-01-01 11:00:01 145164600112 2016-01-01 12:00:01 145164960113 2016-01-01 13:00:01 145165320114 2016-01-01 14:00:01 145165680115 2016-01-01 15:00:01 145166040116 2016-01-01 16:00:01 145166400117 2016-01-01 17:00:01 145166760118 2016-01-01 18:00:01 145167120119 2016-01-01 19:00:01 145167480120 2016-01-01 20:00:01 145167840121 2016-01-01 21:00:01 145168200122 2016-01-01 22:00:01 145168560123 2016-01-01 23:00:01 145168920124 2016-01-02 00:00:01 1451692801
