possible bug when using datetime.replace() on a tz-aware pd.DatetimeIndex · Issue #18785 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

index = pd.DatetimeIndex(pd.date_range(pd.Timestamp(2000,1,1), pd.Timestamp(2005,1,1), freq='MS', tz='Australia/Melbourne')) test = pd.DataFrame({'data':range(len(index))}, index=index) test = test.resample('Y').mean() print(test.index)

DatetimeIndex(['2000-12-31 00:00:00+11:00', '2001-12-31 00:00:00+11:00', '2002-12-31 00:00:00+11:00', '2003-12-31 00:00:00+11:00', '2004-12-31 00:00:00+11:00', '2005-12-31 00:00:00+11:00'], dtype='datetime64[ns, Australia/Melbourne]', freq='A-DEC') test.index = pd.DatetimeIndex([x.replace(month=6, day=1) for x in test.index]) print(test.index) DatetimeIndex(['2000-05-31 23:00:00+10:00', '2001-05-31 23:00:00+10:00', '2002-05-31 23:00:00+10:00', '2003-05-31 23:00:00+10:00', '2004-05-31 23:00:00+10:00', '2005-05-31 23:00:00+10:00'], dtype='datetime64[ns, Australia/Melbourne]', freq=None) #but if I rerun again the same line test.index = pd.DatetimeIndex([x.replace(month=6, day=1) for x in test.index]) print(test.index) DatetimeIndex(['2000-06-01 23:00:00+10:00', '2001-06-01 23:00:00+10:00', '2002-06-01 23:00:00+10:00', '2003-06-01 23:00:00+10:00', '2004-06-01 23:00:00+10:00', '2005-06-01 23:00:00+10:00'], dtype='datetime64[ns, Australia/Melbourne]', freq=None)

Problem description

Hi there,

I'm not sure what is happening, but the output is definitely not what I am expecting.

Let's say that I have a timeserie with a 'MS' frequency.
At some point I want this to be resampled to a mid-year frequency

To do that I'm using the .resample('Y').mean() methods, followed by a direct replacement of the datetime object months/day using the .replace(month=6, day=1) method.
(by the way, if you can think of a better way...)

The expected output would be to have all datetime objects pointing to the first day in June, but instead they are now representing the last day of May (23:00 instead of 00:00).
I believe this problem is in some way related to the DST -> ST conversion, but I'm not sure when this occurs.

just as a test, I tried to then rerun the same line on the newly created object, and that leads to the expected result (all objects representing the first day of June, 23:00)

Is this an actual bug, or am I doing something completely wrong?
Cheers,
Alessio

Expected Output

Output of pd.show_versions()
