modin.pandas.DatetimeIndex.month_name

DatetimeIndex.month_name(locale: str = None) → Index[source]

Return the month names with specified locale.

Parameters:

locale (str, optional) – Locale determining the language in which to return the month name. Default is English locale ('en_US.utf8'). Use the command locale -a on your terminal on Unix systems to find your locale language code.

Return type:

Index of month names.

Examples

>>> idx = pd.date_range(start='2018-01', freq='ME', periods=3)
>>> idx
DatetimeIndex(['2018-01-31', '2018-02-28', '2018-03-31'], dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq=None)
>>> idx.month_name()
Index(['January', 'February', 'March'], dtype='object')

Using the locale parameter you can set a different locale language, for example: idx.month_name(locale='pt_BR.utf8') will return month names in Brazilian Portuguese language.

>>> idx = pd.date_range(start='2018-01', freq='ME', periods=3)
>>> idx
DatetimeIndex(['2018-01-31', '2018-02-28', '2018-03-31'], dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq=None)
>>> idx.month_name(locale='pt_BR.utf8')  
Index(['Janeiro', 'Fevereiro', 'Março'], dtype='object')
