Python generate dates series

Question

How can i generate array with dates like this:

Timestamps in javascript miliseconds format from 2010.12.01 00:00:00 to 2010.12.12.30 23.59.59 with step 5 minutes.

Answer 1

this is my variant for python3, but it's easy could be converted into python2.6 code:

import datetime as dt

dt1 = dt.datetime(2010, 12, 1)
dt2 = dt.datetime(2010, 12, 12, 23, 59, 59)

time_step = 5 # secoonds
delta = dt2 - dt1

delta_sec = delta.days * 24 * 60 * 60 + delta.seconds

res = [dt1 + dt.timedelta(0, t) for t in range(0, delta_sec, time_step)]
