patsy.
There are many ways to get data from pandas to scikit-learn but when you're hacking in a notebook you may prefer to have something that is expressive. Like a domain specific grammar. The tool patsy offers exactly this by mocking features from the R language.
Notes
Here's the example that creates all the interaction terms.
import patsy as ps
import numpy as np
def date_to_num(date_col):
return (date_col - date_col.min()).dt.days
y, X = ps.dmatrices("n_born ~ (date_to_num(date) + yday + month)**3 - month", df_clean)
