Python | Pandas DataFrame.tz_localize

30 May, 2022
Pandas DataFrame is a two-dimensional size-mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data structure with labeled axes (rows and columns). Arithmetic operations align on both row and column labels. It can be thought of as a dict-like container for Series objects. This is the primary data structure of the Pandas. Pandas DataFrame.tz_localize() function localize tz-naive index of a Series or DataFrame to target time zone. This operation localizes the Index.
Syntax: DataFrame.tz_localize(tz, axis=0, level=None, copy=True, ambiguous=’raise’, nonexistent=’raise’) Parameter : tz : string or pytz.timezone object axis : the axis to localize level : If axis is a MultiIndex, localize a specific level. Otherwise must be None copy : Also make a copy of the underlying data ambiguous : When clocks moved backward due to DST, ambiguous times may arise nonexistent : A nonexistent time does not exist in a particular timezone where clocks moved forward due to DST Returns : Same type as the input.
Example #1: Use DataFrame.tz_localize() function to localize the given tz-naive index of the dataframe to the target timezone. 
Python3
# importing pandas as pdimport pandas as pd # Creating the DataFramedf = pd.DataFrame({'Weight':[45, 88, 56, 15, 71],                   'Name':['Sam', 'Andrea', 'Alex', 'Robin', 'Kia'],                   'Age':[14, 25, 55, 8, 21]}) # Create the indexindex_ = pd.date_range('2010-10-09 08:45', periods = 5, freq ='H', tz = 'US / Central') # Set the indexdf.index = index_ # Print the DataFrameprint(df)
Output :  Now we will use DataFrame.tz_localize() function to localize the given tz-naive index of the dataframe to the ‘Europe/Berlin’ timezone. 
Python3
# Let's find out the current timezone# of the given dataframeprint(df.index) # Let's localize the timezone of the# dataframe index to 'Europe / Berlin'df = df = df.tz_localize(tz = 'Europe / Berlin') # Let's find out the current timezone# of the given dataframeprint(df.index)
Output :   As we can see in the output, the DataFrame.tz_localize() function has successfully localized the tz-naive index of the given dataframe to the target timezone.   Example #2 : Use DataFrame.tz_localize() function to localize the tz-naive Index of the given dataframe. The Index of the given dataframe is a MultiIndex. 
Python3
# importing pandas as pdimport pandas as pd # Creating the DataFramedf = pd.DataFrame({'Weight':[45, 88, 56, 15, 71],                   'Name':['Sam', 'Andrea', 'Alex', 'Robin', 'Kia'],                   'Age':[14, 25, 55, 8, 21]}) # Create the MultiIndexindex_ = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([['Date'], pd.date_range('2010-10-09 08:45', periods = 5, freq ='H')],           names =['Level 1', 'Level 2']) # Set the indexdf.index = index_ # Print the DataFrameprint(df)
Output :  Now we will use DataFrame.tz_localize() function to localize the tz-naive index of the given dataframe to ‘US/Central’. 
Python3
# Let's find out the current timezone# of the Level 1 of the given dataframeprint(df.index[1]) # Let's localize the timezone of the# level 1 of the dataframe to 'US / Central'df = df.tz_localize(tz = 'US / Central', level = 1) # Let's find out the current timezone# of the level 1 of the given dataframeprint(df.index[1])
Output :   As we can see in the output, the DataFrame.tz_localize() function has successfully localized the tz-naive index of the given dataframe to ‘US/Central’.
