Round down datetime to previous hour
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
n = datetime.now() - timedelta(hours=1)
new_date = datetime(year=n.year, month=n.month, day=n.day, hour=n.hour)
from datetime import datetime
import pandas as pd
currTime = datetime.now()
floored = pd.to_datetime(currTime).floor('H').to_pydatetime()
Given you want to round down to the hour, you can simply replace microsecond
, second
and minute
with zeros:
print(datetime.now().replace(microsecond=0, second=0, minute=0))
If you want to round down to the previous hour (as stated in the example 2017-01-11 13:26:12.0
to 2017-01-11 12:00:00.0
), replace microsecond
, second
and minute
with zeros, then subtract one hour:
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
print(datetime.now().replace(microsecond=0, second=0, minute=0) - timedelta(hours=1))
