pyarrow.compute.strptime

pyarrow.compute.strptime(strings, /, format, unit, *, options=None, memory_pool=None)

Parse timestamps.

For each string in strings, parse it as a timestamp. The timestamp unit and the expected string pattern must be given in StrptimeOptions. Null inputs emit null. If a non-null string fails parsing, an error is returned.

Parameters
