ENH: Convert a string column of times (hour:min) to datetime without date

[Hadi2525]

I have the following df:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(['12:53','13:00','13:11','14:45'],columns = 'Time')
df = pd.to_datetime(df, format = '%H:%M')

The output is:

>>> df
Time:
1900-01-01 12:53:00
1900-01-01 13:00:00
1900-01-01 13:11:00
1900-01-01 14:45:00

Is there a way to remove dates from rows in df? Perhaps, a method or attribute be added like date = None?

There's pandas.core.tools.to_time that can parse times which seems to be what you want. Needs to be exposed properly which is referenced in #11947 so closing in favor of that issue
