Debugging on specific date

[s-kust]

I need something like this to work:

from IPython.core.debugger import set_trace
...
    def next(self):
        if self.data.index[-1] == THE DESIRED DATE HERE:
            set_trace()

How to do that?

You need to know what self.data.index[-1] is to compare it. In case of datetime index, it happens to be a pandas.Timestamp. Something like this would work:

    if self.data.index[-1] == pd.Timestamp('2019-10-18'):
        breakpoint()

Thank you.

I have determined that the following also works:

from datetime import datetime
...
    def next(self):
         timestamp = "2014-04-01"
         if (self.data.index[-1] == datetime.strptime(timestamp,"%Y-%m-%d")):
             set_trace()
