I have two different dates and I want to know the difference in days between them. The format of the date is YYYY-MM-DD.
I have a function that can ADD or SUBTRACT a given number to a date:
def addonDays(a, x):
ret = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",time.localtime(time.mktime(time.strptime(a,"%Y-%m-%d"))+x*3600*24+3600))
return ret
where A is the date and x the number of days I want to add. And the result is another date.
I need a function where I can give two dates and the result would be an int with date difference in days.
Use -
to get the difference between two datetime
objects and take the days
member.
from datetime import datetime
def days_between(d1, d2):
d1 = datetime.strptime(d1, "%Y-%m-%d")
d2 = datetime.strptime(d2, "%Y-%m-%d")
return abs((d2 - d1).days)
