Selecting Data between Specific hours in a pandas dataframe
My Pandas Dataframe frame looks something like this
1. 2013-10-09 09:00:05
2. 2013-10-09 09:05:00
3. 2013-10-09 10:00:00
4. ............
5. ............
6. ............
7. 2013-10-10 09:00:05
8. 2013-10-10 09:05:00
9. 2013-10-10 10:00:00
I want the data lying in between hours 9 and 10 ...if anyone has worked on something like this ,it would be really helpful.
In [7]: index = date_range('20131009 08:30','20131010 10:05',freq='5T')
In [8]: df = DataFrame(randn(len(index),2),columns=list('AB'),index=index)
In [9]: df
Out[9]:
<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
DatetimeIndex: 308 entries, 2013-10-09 08:30:00 to 2013-10-10 10:05:00
Freq: 5T
Data columns (total 2 columns):
A 308 non-null values
B 308 non-null values
dtypes: float64(2)
In [10]: df.between_time('9:00','10:00')
Out[10]:

Make a new column for the time after splitting your original column . Use the below code to split your time for hours, minutes, and seconds:-
df[['h','m','s']] = df['Time'].astype(str).str.split(':', expand=True).astype(int)
Once you are done with that, you have to select the data by filtering it out:-
df9to10 =df[df['h'].between(9, 10, inclusive=True)]
And, it's dynamic, if you want to take another period between apart from 9 and 10.
