Python | Pandas Period.daysinmonth

The daysinmonth attribute of a pandas.Period object returns the number of days in the month of that particular period when the frequency is set to "M" (for month). It's a handy way to quickly determine the number of days in the month of a specific date without resorting to more complicated methods.

Here's how you can use the daysinmonth attribute:

  1. Setup:

    First, ensure you have pandas installed:

    pip install pandas 
  2. Code Example:

import pandas as pd # Create a period for the month of February 2020 period = pd.Period("2020-02", freq="M") # Get the number of days in the month of that period days = period.daysinmonth print(f"Number of days in {period}: {days}") 

In the above code, the period is for February 2020, which is a leap year, so the output will be:

Number of days in 2020-02: 29 

You can change the date string in the pd.Period() call to any other month and year to get the number of days in that particular month.
