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

Discover more on using widgets to add interactivity to your applications in the how-to guides on interactivity. Alternatively, learn how to set up callbacks and (JS-)links between parameters or how to use them as part of declarative UIs with Param.

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)
