Creating a range of dates in Python

Question

I want to create a list of dates, starting with today, and going back an arbitrary number of days, say, in my example 100 days. Is there a better way to do it than this?

Answer 1

I know this has been answered, but I'll put down my answer for historical purposes, and since I think it is straight forward.

import numpy as np
import datetime as dt
listOfDates=[date for date in np.arange(firstDate,lastDate,dt.timedelta(days=x))]

Sure it won't win anything like code-golf, but I think it is elegant.
