Hello, Is there a module available for python to convert datetime into an array of integers. For example, I have date where the first column is a datetime string (i.e. '2010-10-10 01:10:00') and I would like to convert that into an array with 5 columns corresponding to the integer values of Year,Month,Day,Hour,Minute. There is a function in Matlab that performs called datevec() that performs this operation. I find it much easier to index datetime or perform calculations on other data when date and time are integers. For example, i generally need to calculate averages, std, etc based on specific months, years, days, and hours. Those calculations are extremely simple when I can index an array of datetime integers. If there is no module to convert datetime to an array of integers, does anyone have an example of how i might index datetime using python datetime or numpy datetime64? In each case, I would need an array of datetime the same dimension as my data array.
