Use:

emp = pd.read_csv("C:\\py\\programs\\pandas_2\\pandas\\employees.csv")
emp.info()

它显示“开始日期时间”列和“上次登录时间”都是数据帧中的“对象=字符串”：

<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
RangeIndex: 1000 entries, 0 to 999
Data columns (total 8 columns):
First Name           933 non-null object
Gender               855 non-null object

    Start Date           1000 non-null object

    Last Login Time      1000 non-null object

Salary               1000 non-null int64
Bonus %              1000 non-null float64
Senior Management    933 non-null object
Team                 957 non-null object
dtypes: float64(1), int64(1), object(6)
memory usage: 62.6+ KB

通过使用read_csv中的parse_dates选项，可以将字符串datetime转换为panda datetime格式。

emp = pd.read_csv("C:\\py\\programs\\pandas_2\\pandas\\employees.csv", parse_dates=["Start Date", "Last Login Time"])
emp.info()

输出：

<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
RangeIndex: 1000 entries, 0 to 999
Data columns (total 8 columns):
First Name           933 non-null object
Gender               855 non-null object

     Start Date           1000 non-null datetime64[ns]
     Last Login Time      1000 non-null datetime64[ns]

Salary               1000 non-null int64
Bonus %              1000 non-null float64
Senior Management    933 non-null object
Team                 957 non-null object
dtypes: datetime64[ns](2), float64(1), int64(1), object(4)

将yyyy-mm-dd日期字符串映射到datetime.date对象的简短示例：

from datetime import date
date_from_yyyy_mm_dd = lambda δ : date(*[int(_) for _ in δ.split('-')])
date_object = date_from_yyyy_mm_dd('2021-02-15')

与Javed的回答类似，我只是想要字符串中的日期-所以结合Simon和Javed逻辑，我们得到：

from dateutil import parser
import datetime

s = '2021-03-04'

parser.parse(s).date()

输出

日期时间日期（2021 3月4日）

Django时区感知日期时间对象示例。

import datetime
from django.utils.timezone import get_current_timezone
tz = get_current_timezone()

format = '%b %d %Y %I:%M%p'
date_object = datetime.datetime.strptime('Jun 1 2005  1:33PM', format)
date_obj = tz.localize(date_object)

当USE_TZ=True时，这种转换对于Django和Python非常重要：

RuntimeWarning: DateTimeField MyModel.created received a naive datetime (2016-03-04 00:00:00) while time zone support is active.

In [34]: import datetime

In [35]: _now = datetime.datetime.now()

In [36]: _now
Out[36]: datetime.datetime(2016, 1, 19, 9, 47, 0, 432000)

In [37]: print _now
2016-01-19 09:47:00.432000

In [38]: _parsed = datetime.datetime.strptime(str(_now),"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")

In [39]: _parsed
Out[39]: datetime.datetime(2016, 1, 19, 9, 47, 0, 432000)

In [40]: assert _now == _parsed

使用熊猫时间戳似乎是最快的：

import pandas as pd

N = 1000

l = ['Jun 1 2005  1:33PM'] * N

list(pd.to_datetime(l, format=format))

%timeit _ = list(pd.to_datetime(l, format=format))
1.58 ms ± 21.6 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

其他解决方案

from datetime import datetime
%timeit _ = list(map(lambda x: datetime.strptime(x, format), l))
9.41 ms ± 95.7 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

from dateutil.parser import parse
%timeit _ = list(map(lambda x: parse(x), l))
73.8 ms ± 1.14 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

如果字符串是ISO 8601字符串，请使用csio8601：

import ciso8601

l = ['2014-01-09'] * N

%timeit _ = list(map(lambda x: ciso8601.parse_datetime(x), l))
186 µs ± 4.13 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
