Python Pandas - Get the timedelta in nanoseconds for internal compatibility

Use the timedelta.delta property in Pandas to get the timedelta in nanoseconds for internal compatibility.

At first, import the required libraries −

import pandas as pd

TimeDeltas is Python’s standard datetime library uses a different representation timedelta’s. Create a Timedelta object

timedelta = pd.Timedelta('5 days 1 min 45 s 40 ns') 

Return the timedelta in nanoseconds

timedelta.delta

Example

Following is the code

 import pandas as pd # TimeDeltas is Python’s standard datetime library uses a different representation timedelta’s # create a Timedelta object timedelta = pd.Timedelta('5 days 1 min 45 s 40 ns') # display the Timedelta print("Timedelta...\n", timedelta) # return the timedelta in nanoseconds res = timedelta.delta # display the timedelta print("\nTimedelta (nanoseconds)...\n", res)

Output

This will produce the following code

 Timedelta...  5 days 00:01:45.000000040 Timedelta (nanoseconds)... 432105000000040
