I'm trying to compare a list of datetimes for the last 12 hours (from timenow) :
print(times)
[datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 11, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 10, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 9, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 8, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 7, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 6, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 5, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 4, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 3, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 2, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 1, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 30, 0, 0)]
against a number of slices of pandas main dataframe (filt):
print(filt)
             timestamp  switchID    deviceID  count
0  2019-04-29 10:00:00         1  GTEC122277      3
(...)
16 2019-04-30 09:00:00         1  GTEC122277      1
17 2019-04-30 10:00:00         1  GTEC122277      1
18 2019-04-30 10:00:00         1  GTEC122585      1
19 2019-04-30 10:00:00         2  GTEC122585      1
Typical Slice:
print(d1_sw1)
             timestamp  switchID    deviceID  count
16 2019-04-30 09:00:00         1  GTEC122277      1
17 2019-04-30 10:00:00         1  GTEC122277      1
I want to check the array times against the first column of my SLICED pandas df d1_sw1, if they match, then store in a new df in the format:
             timestamp  count
0  2019-04-30 12:00:00      0
1  2019-04-30 11:00:00      0
2  2019-04-30 10:00:00      1
3  2019-04-30 09:00:00      1
4  2019-04-30 08:00:00      0
5  2019-04-30 07:00:00      0
6  2019-04-30 06:00:00      0
7  2019-04-30 05:00:00      0
8  2019-04-30 04:00:00      0
9  2019-04-30 03:00:00      0
10 2019-04-30 02:00:00      0
11 2019-04-30 01:00:00      0
12 2019-04-30 00:00:00      0
I am really struggling to work out how to achieve this, any help is valued!
I have tried:
for times in data['time']:
    if plot_d1_sw1.timestamp.isin(data['time']).astype(datetime):
but seem to be getting nowhere with this...
