Loss of nanosecond resolution when constructing Timestamps from str · Issue #10041 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Looks like a bug: When passing a YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS.f string to pd.Timestamp, the resolution seems limited to micro- rather than nano-seconds:

pd.Timestamp('20130101T000000.000001+0000') Timestamp('2013-01-01 00:00:00.000001+0000', tz='UTC')

pd.Timestamp('20130101T000000.0000001+0000') Timestamp('2013-01-01 00:00:00+0000', tz='UTC')

pd.Timestamp('20130101T000000.00000001+0000') Timestamp('2013-01-01 00:00:00+0000', tz='UTC')

The behavior seems correct when using a different string format:

pd.Timestamp('2013-01-01 00:00:00.00000001+0000') Timestamp('2013-01-01 00:00:00.000000010+0000', tz='UTC')
