date format without time

[issac_n]

i wanted to truncate the time from this 03/01/2018 00:00 to 2018-01-03 and i tried list comprehension but working.
any idea?

        filename = filedialog.askopenfilename( initialdir="C:/", title="Select CSV file", filetypes=(("CSV file", "*.csv"), ("all files", "*.*")))
        ip_table = pd.read_csv(filename)
        ip_table['DateB']=(datetime.strptime(ip_table['Date'], '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M').strftime('%Y-%m-%d') for ip_table['DateB'] in ip_table['Date'])
        print(ip_table)

error msg as below;

it's not an error - when you use () brackets in comprehension expression (line#3) it produce a generator. use [] in order to get a list

an error occurs >>

Error:
ip_table['DateB']=[datetime.strptime(ip_table['Date'], '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M').strftime('%Y-%m-%d') for ip_table['DateB'] in ip_table['Date']]
TypeError: strptime() argument 1 must be str, not Series

i don't understand the argument error.

ip_table['Date'] must be of type Series and not a str

ip_table['Date'] must be of type Series and not a str https://docs.python.org/3/library/dateti...e.strptime

means i need to change the input data type before change format?

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> d = ['11-01-2018']
>>> datetime.strptime(d, '%d-%m-%Y')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 301, in runcode
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: strptime() argument 1 must be str, not list

# Fix
>>> datetime.strptime(d[0], '%d-%m-%Y')
datetime.datetime(2018, 1, 11, 0, 0)

You see that this generate the same error except it's a list,
i fix it be taking the string out list using index.
For Pandas Series object there is a pandas.Series.to_string
