The DatetimePicker widget allows selecting selecting a datetime value using a text box and the browser’s datetime-picking utility.

DatetimePicker uses a browser-dependent calendar widget to select the datetime:


datetime_picker = pn.widgets.DatetimePicker(
    name='Datetime Picker', value=dt.datetime(2021, 3, 2, 12, 10)
)

pn.Column(datetime_picker, height=400)








To ensure it is visible in a notebook we have placed it in a Column with a fixed height.


DatetimePicker.value returns a datetime type that can be read out or set like other widgets:


datetime_picker.value





datetime.datetime(2021, 3, 2, 12, 10)








Controls#


The DatetimePicker widget exposes a number of options which can be changed from both Python and Javascript. Try out the effect of these parameters interactively:


pn.Row(datetime_picker.controls(jslink=True), datetime_picker)
