Generating 15 minute time interval array in python

Question

I am trying to generate time interval array. for example:

time_array = [\"2016-09-02T17:30:00Z\", \"2016-09-02T17:45:00Z\", 
              \"2016-09-02T18:00         


        

Answer 1

Here is a Pandas solution:

import pandas as pd

l = (pd.DataFrame(columns=['NULL'],
                  index=pd.date_range('2016-09-02T17:30:00Z', '2016-09-04T21:00:00Z',
                                      freq='15T'))
       .between_time('07:00','21:00')
       .index.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
       .tolist()
)

Output:

In [165]: l
Out[165]:
