Efficient way to Convert UTC time to Epoch in millisecond in Python in a Pandas DataFrame












0















How to Convert UTC time to epoch in a python DataFrame in an efficient manner ?



Here is what I have:



df = pd.DataFrame(['2017-12-12T00:59:54', '2017-12-12T01:09:52', '2017-12-12T01:19:51'], columns = ['time'])


Here is what I did:



import datetime as dt

epoch =
for x in df['time']:
dt = datetime.strptime(x, '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')
epoch.append(dt.replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc).timestamp())

df['epoch'] = epoch


Here is my Issue:



This for loop seems to be very slow in a large pandas data frame, is there a more efficient way to do it?



Thank you! :)

          • @Matthew - data are in nanoseconds, for remove last 0 need divide by 10**9 - epoch in seconds

          • so in milliseconds will be 10 ** 3 ?
