批量生成日期python

#sample2
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from collections import OrderedDict
dates = ["2014-10-10", "2016-01-07"]
start, end = [datetime.strptime(_, "%Y-%m-%d") for _ in dates]
datelist =OrderedDict(((start + timedelta(_)).strftime(r"%b-%y"), None) for _ in range((end - start).days)).keys()
print(datelist)

#sample3 最简便做法
import pandas as pd
datelist = pd.date_range('2014-10-10','2016-01-07', 
              freq='MS').strftime("%Y-%b").tolist()#strftime格式可以转换
print(datelist)
