How to return the ISO 8610 format for a timestamp object
Overview
The format of ISO 8610 format is given as YYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.mmmmmmnnn. To convert a Timestamp object—an equivalent of Python's datetime object— to the ISO 8610 format in pandas, we use the isoformat() function.

# A code to illustrate the .is_year_end attribute in Pandas# importing the pandas libraryimport pandas as pd# creating a Timestamp objecta = pd.Timestamp(2022, 4, 29)# obtaining the date time in ISO 8610 formatmy_date = a.isoformat("*")print(my_date)
Explanation
- Line 3: We import the
pandaslibrary. - Line 6: We create a
Timestampobject,a. - Line 9: We use the
isoformat()function to return the ISO 8610 format of the inputTimestampobject. We assign the result to a variable,my_date. - Line 11: We print the value of the variable,
my_date.
