Example #1: Use PeriodIndex.is_leap_year attribute to check for each element in the given PeriodIndex object, whether it is a leap year or not. Python3

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Create the PeriodIndex object
pidx = pd.PeriodIndex(start ='2003-12-21 08:45 ',
              end ='2009-12-21 11:55', freq ='Y')

print(pidx)

Output : Now we will use the PeriodIndex.is_leap_year attribute to check if the given year is a leap year or not. Python3

# check for leap year
pidx.is_leap_year

Output : As we can see in the output, the PeriodIndex.is_leap_year attribute has returned an array containing boolean values.

import pandas as pd

# Create the PeriodIndex object
pidx = pd.PeriodIndex(start ='2016-02-1', 
           end ='2016-02-06', freq ='D')

# Print the PeriodIndex object
print(pidx)

Output : Now we will use the PeriodIndex.is_leap_year attribute to check if the given year is a leap year or not. Python3

# check for leap year
pidx.is_leap_year

Output : As we can see in the output, the PeriodIndex.is_leap_year attribute has returned an array containing boolean values. True indicates the given year was a leap year and False indicates the given year was not a leap year.
