<class 'pandas._libs.tslibs.timestamps.Timestamp'>

Answer 1

do you want this?

from pandas._libs.tslibs.timestamps import Timestamp
ts = Timestamp('2018-12-01 00:00:00', freq='MS')
date_time = ts.to_pydatetime()

And if you just want a string then you can do this:

print(str(ts).split()[0])

out:

'2018-12-01'
