Answer 1

With pure Python:

import datetime

start_date_str = "01/04/2020"
end_date_str = "01/04/2021"

start_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(start_date_str, "%d/%m/%Y").date()
end_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(end_date_str, "%d/%m/%Y").date()

print(f"Quarters within {start_date_str} and {end_date_str}:")
start_of_quarter = start_date
while True:
    far_future = start_of_quarter + datetime.timedelta(days=93)
    start_of_next_quarter = far_future.replace(day=1)
    end_of_quarter = start_of_next_quarter - datetime.timedelta(days=1)
    if end_of_quarter > end_date:
        break
    print(f"\t{start_of_quarter:%d/%m/%Y} - {end_of_quarter:%d/%m/%Y}")
    start_of_quarter = start_of_next_quarter
