>>> s = pd.Series(pd.date_range(start='2018-01', freq='ME', periods=3)) >>> s 0 2018-01-31 1 2018-02-28 2 2018-03-31 dtype: datetime64[ns] >>> s.dt.month_name() 0 January 1 February 2 March dtype: object
>>> idx = pd.date_range(start='2018-01', freq='ME', periods=3) >>> idx DatetimeIndex(['2018-01-31', '2018-02-28', '2018-03-31'], dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='ME') >>> idx.month_name() Index(['January', 'February', 'March'], dtype='object')
Using the locale
parameter you can set a different locale language, for example: idx.month_name(locale='pt_BR.utf8')
will return month names in Brazilian Portuguese language.
>>> idx = pd.date_range(start='2018-01', freq='ME', periods=3) >>> idx DatetimeIndex(['2018-01-31', '2018-02-28', '2018-03-31'], dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='ME') >>> idx.month_name(locale='pt_BR.utf8') Index(['Janeiro', 'Fevereiro', 'Março'], dtype='object')
