Yeah, such a useful tool with such a byzantine API, completely at odds with 
the zen -- I wonder what prevented that the authors chose to write it in 
Perl ;)

Or:

>>> d.iloc[-1]['end'].strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
'2017-09-22 09:03:40'

PS.
pandas is one of reasons why python is so popular these days. But
"there is only milion way how to do it" (and other unpythonic issues)
I see there every time I am looking at it. :)

After a web search and some trial and error:

>>> d = pd.DataFrame([[1, datetime.datetime.now()], [2, 
datetime.datetime.now()]], columns=["whatever", "end"])
>>> d
   whateverend
0 1 2017-09-21 22:36:52.342757
1 2 2017-09-21 22:36:52.349973

[2 rows x 2 columns]
>>> d["end"].astype(datetime.datetime).values[-1]
datetime.datetime(2017, 9, 21, 22, 36, 52, 349973)

How to do these conversions?

The docs say that pandas.Series is "One-dimensional ndarray with axis 
labels (including time series)", so have you tried indexing, such as 
end_date[1]?
