TimeDatetime¶

class astropy.time.TimeDatetime(val1, val2, scale, precision, in_subfmt, out_subfmt, from_jd=False)[source]¶

Bases: TimeUnique

Represent date as Python standard library datetime object.

Example:

>>> from astropy.time import Time
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> t = Time(datetime(2000, 1, 2, 12, 0, 0), scale='utc')
>>> t.iso
'2000-01-02 12:00:00.000'
>>> t.tt.datetime
datetime.datetime(2000, 1, 2, 12, 1, 4, 184000)

Attributes Documentation

cache¶: Return the cache associated with this instance.

in_subfmt¶

jd1¶

jd2¶

jd2_filled¶

mask¶

masked¶

name = 'datetime'¶

out_subfmt¶

precision¶

scale¶: Time scale.

subfmts = ()¶

value¶

Convert to (potentially timezone-aware) datetime object.

If timezone is not None, return a timezone-aware datetime object.

Since the datetime class does not natively handle leap seconds, the behavior when converting a time within a leap second is controlled by the leap_second_strict argument. For example:

>>> from astropy.time import Time
>>> t = Time("2015-06-30 23:59:60.500")
>>> print(t.to_datetime(leap_second_strict='silent'))
2015-07-01 00:00:00.500000

Parameters:

timezone{tzinfo, None}, optional: If not None, return timezone-aware datetime.
leap_second_strictstr, optional: If raise (default), raise an exception if the time is within a leap second. If warn then issue a warning. If silent then silently handle the leap second.

Returns:

datetime: If timezone is not None, output will be timezone-aware.
