Python: iterate through two datetimes hourly

Question

Here\'s the question:

Using python\'s datetime module, create an iterator that generates all the hours between two datetime.datatime objects.

it = hourly_i

Answer 1

I'm almost sure this is school work you got there.

But I'll give you some reading on python's iterator protocol, and short and sweet example maybe you get it; and its not rocket science anyway.

The Iterator Protocol: How “For Loops” Work in Python

>>> from datetime import datetime, timedelta
>>> def hourly_it(start, finish):
...     while finish > start:
...             start = start + timedelta(hours=1)
...             yield start
>>> start = datetime(2018, 10, 2, 12)
>>> finish = datetime(2018, 10, 3, 12)
>>> for hour in hourly_it(start, finish):
...     print(hour)
...
