I got myself a pandas
dataframe with columns latitude, longitude (which are integer type) and a date column (datetime64[ns, UTC]
- as needed for the function). I use following line to produce new column of sun's azimuth:
daa['azimuth'] = daa.apply(lambda row: get_azimuth(row['latitude'], row['longitude'], row['date']), axis=1)
It crashes and I cannot figure out why, the only thing I know is that there is a problem in date:
File "pandas\_libs\tslibs\timestamps.pyx", line 1332, in pandas._libs.tslibs.timestamps.Timestamp.__new__
TypeError: an integer is required
If anyone had an idea what I am supposed to do with the date, it would be great, thanks.

this goes back to a bug in pandas
, see issue #32174. pysolar.solar.get_azimuth
calls .utctimetuple()
method of given datetime object (or pd.Timestamp), which fails:
import pandas as pd
s = pd.to_datetime(pd.Series(["2020-01-01", "2020-01-02"])).dt.tz_localize('UTC')
s.iloc[0]
Out[3]: Timestamp('2020-01-01 00:00:00 0000', tz='UTC')
s.iloc[0].utctimetuple()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-4-f5e393f18fdb>", line 1, in <module>
s.iloc[0].utctimetuple()
File "pandas\_libs\tslibs\timestamps.pyx", line 1332, in pandas._libs.tslibs.timestamps.Timestamp.__new__
TypeError: an integer is required
You can work-around by converting the pandas Timestamp to a Python datetime object, were utctimetuple
works as expected. For the given example, you can use
daa.apply(lambda row: get_azimuth(row['latitude'], row['longitude'], row['date'].to_pydatetime()), axis=1)
