I have a dataframe of a month excluding Saturday and Sunday, which was logged every 1 minute.

I have resample dataframe to get 1st and last value from each day. 

res = df.groupby(df.index.date).apply(lambda x: x.iloc[[0, -1]])
res.index = res.index.droplevel(0)
print(res)
                      v1    v2
2017-04-03 09:15:00  35.7  35.4
2017-04-03 16:30:00  82.7  82.6
2017-04-04 09:15:00  24.3  24.2
2017-04-04 16:30:00  70.2  70.6
   ...                ..    ..
2017-04-28 09:15:00  31.7  31.4
2017-04-28 16:30:00  33.0  30.7

Now i want to have the data-frame organised as date with v1 of minimum timestamp and v2 of max timestamp of specific date.

Desired output:

              v1    v2
2017-04-03  35.7  82.6
2017-04-04  24.3  70.6
   ...       ..    ..

Try this:

df_result = pd.DataFrame()
df_result['v1'] = res.groupby(res.index)['v1'].min()
df_result['v2'] = res.groupby(res.index)['v2'].max()

You can groupby on index and use groupby.agg with a custom function.

df1 = res.groupby(res.index.date).agg({'v1': lambda x: x[min(x.index)], 'v2':lambda x: x[max(x.index)]})

print (df1)

             v1      v2
2017-04-03  35.7    82.6
2017-04-04  24.3    70.6
2017-04-28  31.7    33.7

An alternative to resample dataframe to get 1st and last value from each day.

res=df.reset_index().groupby(df.index.date).agg(['first','last']).stack().set_index('index')

You can reset_index and then GroupBy + apply with a custom function:

def first_second(x):
    return pd.Series({'v1': x['v1'].iat[0], 'v2': x['v2'].iat[-1]})

res2 = res.reset_index()
res2 = res2.groupby(res2['index'].dt.date).apply(first_second)

print(res2)

              v1    v2
index

There is a very interesting fonction in pandas to work with the datetime index. It is the resampling fonction. In your Case try this : 

def first_last(entry):
   return entry['v1'][0],entry['v2'][1]

yourdataframe.resample('D').apply(first_last)

the 'D' stands for Daily resampling.

result :
