woom.util.WoomDate.to_numpy

woom.util.WoomDate.to_numpy#

WoomDate.to_numpy(dtype=None, copy=False) → datetime64#

Convert the Timestamp to a NumPy datetime64.

This is an alias method for Timestamp.to_datetime64(). The dtype and copy parameters are available here only for compatibility. Their values will not affect the return value.

Parameters:

  • dtype (dtype, optional) – Data type of the output, ignored in this method as the return type is always numpy.datetime64.

  • copy (bool, default False) – Whether to ensure that the returned value is a new object. This parameter is also ignored as the method does not support copying.

Return type:

numpy.datetime64
