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

I came to a solution that uses python-dateutil and works with Python 3.8+:

def month_range(
    start: datetime.date,
    end: datetime.date,
) -> Iterator[datetime.date]:
    """Yields the 1st day of each month in the given date range."""
    yield from itertools.takewhile(
        lambda date: date < end,
        itertools.accumulate(
            itertools.repeat(relativedelta(months=1)),
            operator.add,
            initial=start,
        )
    )
