pandas issue with pandas.NaT when changing from pandas._libs.tslib.NaTType












0















Since pandas 0.23.4, pandas._libs.tslib.NaTType is completely deprecated, so I have to use pandas.NaT as indicated in 0.23.2 changelog,



The type import pandas.tslib.NaTType is deprecated and can be replaced by using type(pandas.NaT)


But when I tried the following code,



from pandas import NaT
val_type = type(val)

if issubclass(val_type, NaT):
return 'NaT'


I got an error,



TypeError: issubclass() arg 2 must be a class or tuple of classes


If I try,



if isinstance(val_type, NaT):
return 'NaT'


I got the following error,



TypeError: isinstance() arg 2 must be a type or tuple of types

          Well, as the deprecation message suggested, you should use type(pandas.NaT), not NaT directly. So if you imported the name, you can do issubclass(val_type, type(pandas.NaT)).

          To expound a bit on other answers:



          pandas._libs.tslibs.nattype.NaTType is a class, defined here.



          class NaTType(_NaT):
          """(N)ot-(A)-(T)ime, the time equivalent of NaN"""


          pandas.NaT (brought into the top-level namespace) is an instance of the class above, defined here:



          NaT = NaTType()


          With the reason being




          This is a pseudo-native sentinel value that can be represented by NumPy in a singular dtype (datetime64[ns]).




          issubclass() requires you to pass an actual class, not the class instance, and using type(pd.NaT) will do that for you without directly accessing any "nonpublic" API.

            You need to give isinstance() the actual type you are looking for. In this case, I would do type(df.loc[knownnatdata) and use that as input for the method. For example, I filled a dataframe column with pd.NaT



            df = pd.DataFrame([[1,1],[3,4],[3,4]], columns=["a", 'b'])
            df['c'],df['d']=np.nan, pd.NaT

            a b c d
            0 1 1 NaN NaT
            1 3 4 NaN NaT
            2 3 4 NaN NaT


            Then type(df['d'].iloc[0]) gives me pandas._libs.tslibs.nattype.NaTType (which is still the type in my version, but note that it is still not JUST NaT)



            to which I compare



            isinstance(df['d'].iloc[0],pd._libs.tslibs.nattype.NaTType)
            True

                          You need to give isinstance() the actual type you are looking for. In this case, I would do type(df.loc[knownnatdata) and use that as input for the method. For example, I filled a dataframe column with pd.NaT



                          df = pd.DataFrame([[1,1],[3,4],[3,4]], columns=["a", 'b'])
                          df['c'],df['d']=np.nan, pd.NaT

                          a b c d
                          0 1 1 NaN NaT
                          1 3 4 NaN NaT
                          2 3 4 NaN NaT


                          Then type(df['d'].iloc[0]) gives me pandas._libs.tslibs.nattype.NaTType (which is still the type in my version, but note that it is still not JUST NaT)



                          to which I compare



                          isinstance(df['d'].iloc[0],pd._libs.tslibs.nattype.NaTType)
                          True
