Get all columns with datetime type using pandas?

Question

I have a huge DataFrame where the columns aren\'t ever in order nor do I know their name.

What do I do to find all the columns which are datetime types?

Answer 1

Since each column of a pandas DataFrame is a pandas Series simply iterate through list of column names and conditionally check for series.dtype of datetime (typically datetime64[ns]):

for col in df.columns:
   if df[col].dtype == 'datetime64[ns]':
      print(col)

Or as list comprehension:

[col for col in df.columns if df[col].dtype == 'datetime64[ns]']

Or as a series filter:

df.dtypes[df.dtypes=='datetime64[ns]']
