一个泛型方法，允许在参数化窗口大小(天，分钟，小时，秒)上创建日期范围:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def create_date_ranges(start, end, **interval):
    start_ = start
    while start_ < end:
        end_ = start_ + timedelta(**interval)
        yield (start_, min(end_, end))
        start_ = end_

测试:

def main():
    tests = [
        ('2021-11-15:00:00:00', '2021-11-17:13:00:00', {'days': 1}),
        ('2021-11-15:00:00:00', '2021-11-16:13:00:00', {'hours': 12}),
        ('2021-11-15:00:00:00', '2021-11-15:01:45:00', {'minutes': 30}),
        ('2021-11-15:00:00:00', '2021-11-15:00:01:12', {'seconds': 30})
    ]
    for t in tests:
        print("\nInterval: %s, range(%s to %s)" % (t[2], t[0], t[1]))
        start = datetime.strptime(t[0], '%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S')
        end =  datetime.strptime(t[1], '%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S')
        ranges = list(create_date_ranges(start, end, **t[2]))        
        x = list(map(
            lambda x: (x[0].strftime('%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S'), x[1].strftime('%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S')),
            ranges
        ))
        print(x)
main()

测试输出:

Interval: {'days': 1}, range(2021-11-15:00:00:00 to 2021-11-17:13:00:00)
[('2021-11-15:00:00:00', '2021-11-16:00:00:00'), ('2021-11-16:00:00:00', '2021-11-17:00:00:00'), ('2021-11-17:00:00:00', '2021-11-17:13:00:00')]

Interval: {'hours': 12}, range(2021-11-15:00:00:00 to 2021-11-16:13:00:00)
[('2021-11-15:00:00:00', '2021-11-15:12:00:00'), ('2021-11-15:12:00:00', '2021-11-16:00:00:00'), ('2021-11-16:00:00:00', '2021-11-16:12:00:00'), ('2021-11-16:12:00:00', '2021-11-16:13:00:00')]

Interval: {'minutes': 30}, range(2021-11-15:00:00:00 to 2021-11-15:01:45:00)
[('2021-11-15:00:00:00', '2021-11-15:00:30:00'), ('2021-11-15:00:30:00', '2021-11-15:01:00:00'), ('2021-11-15:01:00:00', '2021-11-15:01:30:00'), ('2021-11-15:01:30:00', '2021-11-15:01:45:00')]

Interval: {'seconds': 30}, range(2021-11-15:00:00:00 to 2021-11-15:00:01:12)
[('2021-11-15:00:00:00', '2021-11-15:00:00:30'), ('2021-11-15:00:00:30', '2021-11-15:00:01:00'), ('2021-11-15:00:01:00', '2021-11-15:00:01:12')]

Matplotlib相关

from matplotlib.dates import drange
import datetime

base = datetime.date.today()
end  = base + datetime.timedelta(days=100)
delta = datetime.timedelta(days=1)
l = drange(base, end, delta)

你可以写一个生成器函数，返回从今天开始的日期对象:

import datetime

def date_generator():
  from_date = datetime.datetime.today()
  while True:
    yield from_date
    from_date = from_date - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

这个生成器返回从今天开始的日期，一次返回一天。以下是前3次约会的方法:

>>> import itertools
>>> dates = itertools.islice(date_generator(), 3)
>>> list(dates)
[datetime.datetime(2009, 6, 14, 19, 12, 21, 703890), datetime.datetime(2009, 6, 13, 19, 12, 21, 703890), datetime.datetime(2009, 6, 12, 19, 12, 21, 703890)]

与循环或列表推导相比，这种方法的优点是可以返回任意多次。

Edit

使用生成器表达式代替函数的更紧凑的版本:

date_generator = (datetime.datetime.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=i) for i in itertools.count())

用法:

>>> dates = itertools.islice(date_generator, 3)
>>> list(dates)
[datetime.datetime(2009, 6, 15, 1, 32, 37, 286765), datetime.datetime(2009, 6, 14, 1, 32, 37, 286836), datetime.datetime(2009, 6, 13, 1, 32, 37, 286859)]

以下是我从自己的代码中创建的要点，这可能会有所帮助。(我知道这个问题太老了，但其他人可以用)

https://gist.github.com/2287345

(下同)

import datetime
from time import mktime

def convert_date_to_datetime(date_object):
    date_tuple = date_object.timetuple()
    date_timestamp = mktime(date_tuple)
    return datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(date_timestamp)

def date_range(how_many=7):
    for x in range(0, how_many):
        some_date = datetime.datetime.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=x)
        some_datetime = convert_date_to_datetime(some_date.date())
        yield some_datetime

def pick_two_dates(how_many=7):
    a = b = convert_date_to_datetime(datetime.datetime.now().date())
    for each_date in date_range(how_many):
        b = a
        a = each_date
        if a == b:
            continue
        yield b, a

下面是一个稍微不同的答案，基于S.Lott的答案，给出了两个日期开始和结束之间的日期列表。在下面的例子中，从2017年初到今天。

start = datetime.datetime(2017,1,1)
end = datetime.datetime.today()
daterange = [start + datetime.timedelta(days=x) for x in range(0, (end-start).days)]

我知道这个回答有点晚，但我也遇到了同样的问题，我认为Python的内部范围函数在这方面有点缺乏，所以我在我的util模块中重写了它。

from __builtin__ import range as _range
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def range(*args):
    if len(args) != 3:
        return _range(*args)
    start, stop, step = args
    if start < stop:
        cmp = lambda a, b: a < b
        inc = lambda a: a + step
    else:
        cmp = lambda a, b: a > b
        inc = lambda a: a - step
    output = [start]
    while cmp(start, stop):
        start = inc(start)
        output.append(start)

    return output

print range(datetime(2011, 5, 1), datetime(2011, 10, 1), timedelta(days=30))
