Hello,
I am a beginner in python, and have a question..
I need to create a list of all dates between two dates..
Lets say beggining date= 2008-1-15
enddate= 2008-2-20
how do I get a list
dates = [2008-1-15, 2008-1-16,...,2008-2-20] ?

The datetime module is useful for this problem. Create a datetime object for the start and end dates. The following determines the number of days:

(end_date+datetime.timedelta(days=1)-start_date).days)

Use that value +1 for a range of days. Each date can be incremented by an integer like this:

start_date+datetime.timedelta(days=i)

Thx for quick reply,
I understand the principle of incrementing days, but how to store each day into list or tuple?

In C I would have something like

DATES=[]
number of days=30
start_date= ...
end_date= ...

while (start_date <= end_date)
{
for(i=0; i<30; i++)
DATES[i]=start_date;

start_date++;
}

You are welcome. I am glad you were able to solve it. Here's what I came up with:

import datetime
 
def date_range(start, end):
    r = (end+datetime.timedelta(days=1)-start).days
    return [start+datetime.timedelta(days=i) for i in range(r)]
 
start = datetime.date(2007,01,01)
end = datetime.date(2008,02,01)
dateList = date_range(start, end)
print '\n'.join([str(date) for date in dateList])
 
>>> 2007-01-01
2007-01-02
2007-01-03
2007-01-04
2007-01-05
