Creating a series of Quarters-CodePudding

Let say I have a date

import datetime as datetime

mydate = datetime.date(2020, 1, 10)

Now starting from mydate, I want to create an array of 10 quarters e.g. 2020-Q1, 2020-Q2, ... [total 10 values]

Is there any direct way to achieve this?

In R, this is pretty straightforward, as I can use seq() function to generate the same.

Any pointer will be very helpful

CodePudding user response：

it doesnt give you the exact format ... but probably close enough

pandas.date_range("2020-01-01",freq="Q",periods=10).to_period('Q')

CodePudding user response：

Be carefaul : datetime.date gives you a date, not a datetime !

You could try something like :

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

mydate = datetime(2020, 1, 10)

quarters = []
for i in range(1, 10):
   quarters.append(mydate   timedelta(minutes=15) * i)

Or in one line statement :


quarters = [ mydate   timedelta(minutes=15) * i for i in range(1, 10) ]

pretty straightforward too... ;-)
