Python getting hour from from timestamp
Solution 1
I'm not sure what kind of object is df
but you could convert timestamps to datetime
objects and then use attributes of datetime objects to access timestamp attributes:
from datetime import datetime
d = datetime.strptime('2016-03-14 17:24:55', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
df['hour'] = d.hour
You can read more about datetime
module at this link
Solution 2
You need to convert your 'date' columnn to a datatime object first:
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'], format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
df['hour'] = df['date'].dt.hour

I need to classify timestamps based on the hour, for example if it is between 7 AM and 9 AM, it will be morning. I have timestamps that I take from my csv file and I need to get only hour so I can classify the number with if statements.
I will take the timestamps from date column and create a new column named hour,
df['hour'] = df.date.dt.hour
but it gives me the following error: AttributeError: Can only use .dt accessor with datetimelike values
Timestamps are like the following: 2016-03-14 17:24:55
