title: python pandas date time conversion to date
body: <p>I am looking to convert datetime to date for a <code>pandas</code> <code>datetime</code> series. </p>
  
  <p>I have listed the code below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>df = pd.DataFrame()
  
  df = pandas.io.parsers.read_csv("TestData.csv", low_memory=False)
  
  df['PUDATE'] = pd.Series([pd.to_datetime(date) for date in df['DATE_TIME']])
  
  df['PUDATE2'] = datetime.datetime.date(df['PUDATE'])  #Does not work
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone guide me in right direction?</p>
