Generate list of months between interval in python

Question

I want to generate a python list containing all months occurring between two dates, with the input and output formatted as follows:

date1 = \"2014-10-10\"  #         


        

Answer 1

With pandas, you can have a one liner like this:

import pandas as pd

date1 = "2014-10-10"  # input start date
date2 = "2016-01-07"  # input end date

month_list = [i.strftime("%b-%y") for i in pd.date_range(start=date1, end=date2, freq='MS')]
