你可以使用参数date_parser和一个函数来将一个字符串列序列转换为一个datetime实例数组:

parser = lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x, format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
pd.read_csv('path', date_parser=parser, parse_dates=['date_col1', 'date_col2'])

也许自从@Rutger回答之后，pandas接口已经改变了，但在我使用的版本(0.15.2)中，date_parser函数接收的是日期列表，而不是单个值。在这种情况下，他的代码应该像这样更新:

from datetime import datetime
import pandas as pd

dateparse = lambda dates: [datetime.strptime(d, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') for d in dates]
    
df = pd.read_csv('test.dat', parse_dates=['datetime'], date_parser=dateparse)

由于最初的提问者说他想要日期，而日期是2013-6-4格式，dateparse函数应该是:

dateparse = lambda dates: [datetime.strptime(d, '%Y-%m-%d').date() for d in dates]

是的——根据熊猫的说法。read_csv文档:

注意:对于iso8601格式的日期存在快速路径。

因此，如果您的csv有一个名为datetime的列，日期看起来像2013-01-01T01:01，例如，运行这个将使pandas(我在v0.19.2)自动获取日期和时间:

Df = pd.read_csv('test.csv'， parse_dates=['datetime'])

请注意，您需要显式地传递parse_dates，否则它无法工作。

验证:

df.dtypes

您应该看到该列的数据类型是datetime64[ns]

如果工作表现对你很重要，确保你有时间:

        timeit.Timer(statement, setup=_setup or setup).repeat(
            repeat, numbers)))

print("Format %m/%d/%y")

因此，对于iso8601格式的日期(%Y-%m-%d %H:% m:%S显然是一个iso8601格式的日期，我猜T可以被删除并被空格取代)，您不应该指定infer_datetime_format(这显然与更常见的日期没有区别)，并且传递您自己的解析器只会削弱性能。另一方面，date_parser与不那么标准的日期格式确实有所不同。像往常一样，在优化之前一定要计时。

Pandas read_csv方法非常适合解析日期。完整的文档请访问http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.io.parsers.read_csv.html

你甚至可以在不同的列中有不同的日期部分，并传递参数:

parse_dates : boolean, list of ints or names, list of lists, or dict
If True -> try parsing the index. If [1, 2, 3] -> try parsing columns 1, 2, 3 each as a
separate date column. If [[1, 3]] -> combine columns 1 and 3 and parse as a single date
column. {‘foo’ : [1, 3]} -> parse columns 1, 3 as date and call result ‘foo’

The default sensing of dates works great, but it seems to be biased towards north american Date formats. If you live elsewhere you might occasionally be caught by the results. As far as I can remember 1/6/2000 means 6 January in the USA as opposed to 1 Jun where I live. It is smart enough to swing them around if dates like 23/6/2000 are used. Probably safer to stay with YYYYMMDD variations of date though. Apologies to pandas developers,here but i have not tested it with local dates recently.

可以使用date_parser参数传递一个函数来转换格式。

date_parser : function
Function to use for converting a sequence of string columns to an array of datetime
instances. The default uses dateutil.parser.parser to do the conversion.

你可以使用参数date_parser和一个函数来将一个字符串列序列转换为一个datetime实例数组:

parser = lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x, format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
pd.read_csv('path', date_parser=parser, parse_dates=['date_col1', 'date_col2'])
