How to calculate number of days between two given dates?

Question

If I have two dates (ex. \'8/18/2008\' and \'9/26/2008\'), what is the best way to get the number of days between these two dates?

Answer 1

It also can be easily done with arrow:

import arrow

a = arrow.get('2017-05-09')
b = arrow.get('2017-05-11')

delta = (b-a)
print delta.days
