pyarrow.compute.strptime#

pyarrow.compute.strptime(strings, /, format, unit, error_is_null=False, *, 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 by default.

Parameters

Argument to compute function.

formatstr

error_is_nullbool, default False

Return null on parsing errors if true or raise if false.

Alternative way of passing options.

memory_poolpyarrow.MemoryPool, optional

If not passed, will allocate memory from the default memory pool.
