Pandas Datetime: Manipulate and convert date times with timezone information

Pandas Datetime: Exercise-16 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to manipulate and convert date times with timezone information.

Sample Solution :

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
dtt = pd.date_range('2018-01-01', periods=3, freq='H')
dtt = dtt.tz_localize('UTC')
print(dtt)
print("\nFrom UTC to America/Los_Angeles:")
dtt = dtt.tz_convert('America/Los_Angeles')
print(dtt)

Sample Output:

DatetimeIndex(['2018-01-01 00:00:00+00:00', '2018-01-01 01:00:00+00:00',
               '2018-01-01 02:00:00+00:00'],
              dtype='datetime64[ns, UTC]', freq='H')

From UTC to America/Los_Angeles:
DatetimeIndex(['2017-12-31 16:00:00-08:00', '2017-12-31 17:00:00-08:00',
               '2017-12-31 18:00:00-08:00'],
              dtype='datetime64[ns, America/Los_Angeles]', freq='H')
