To convert a string into a date  the easiest way AFAIK is the dateutil module   import dateutil parser datetime object   dateutil parser parse  2013-05-07     It can also handle time zones   print dateutil parser parse  2013-05-07     gt  gt  gt  datetime datetime 2013  5  7  1  12  12  tzinfo tzutc      If you have a datetime object  say   import pytz import datetime now   datetime datetime now pytz UTC    and you want chop off the time part  then I think it is easier to construct a new object instead of  substracting the time part   It is shorter and more bullet proof   date part datetime datetime now year  now month  now day  tzinfo now tzinfo    It also keeps the time zone information  it is easier to read and understand than a timedelta substraction  and you also have the option to give a different time zone in the same step  which makes sense  since you will have zero time part anyway

For me  I needed to KEEP a timetime object because I was using UTC and it s a bit of a pain  So  this is what I ended up doing   date   datetime datetime utcnow    start of day   date - datetime timedelta      hours date hour       minutes date minute       seconds date second       microseconds date microsecond    end of day   start of day   datetime timedelta      hours 23       minutes 59       seconds 59     Example output    gt  gt  gt  date datetime datetime 2016  10  14  17  21  5  511600   gt  gt  gt  start of day datetime datetime 2016  10  14  0  0   gt  gt  gt  end of day datetime datetime 2016  10  14  23  59  59

You can use simply pd to datetime then  and pandas will convert the date elements into ISO date format-  YYYY-MM-DD   You can pass this as map apply to use it in a dataframe series too

If you need the result to be timezone-aware  you can use the replace   method of datetime objects   This preserves timezone  so you can do   gt  gt  gt  from django utils import timezone  gt  gt  gt  now   timezone now    gt  gt  gt  now datetime datetime 2018  8  30  14  15  43  726252  tzinfo  lt UTC gt    gt  gt  gt  now replace hour 0  minute 0  second 0  microsecond 0  datetime datetime 2018  8  30  0  0  tzinfo  lt UTC gt     Note that this returns a new datetime object -- now remains unchanged

print then date     What you want is a datetime date object  What you have is a datetime datetime object  You can either change the object when you print as per above  or do the following when creating the object   then   datetime datetime strptime when    Y- m- d   date
