how to check if date is in certain interval python?

Question

I'm importing dates from yahoo finance and want to transform them in a format so that I can compare them with today to check if the date is between 3 and 9 months from now.

Here is what I have so far:

today = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
today = datetime.datetime.strptime(today, '%Y-%m-%d')
int_begin = today + datetime.timedelta(days=90)
int_end = today + datetime.timedelta(days=270)

for i in opt["Expiry"]:
    transf_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(opt["Expiry"][1],'%b %d, %Y')
    transf_date = datetime.datetime.strftime(transf_date,"%Y-%m-%d")
    if int_begin <= transf_date and transf_date <= int_end:
        print "True:",i
    else:
        print "False:",i

Here is the content of opt["Expiry"]

It seems like I have the same date format, which is "%Y-%m-%d", but I still get no values filtered out. All of them come out as true, being inside the interval.

您正在使用transf_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(opt["Expiry"][1],'%b %d, %Y')而不是transf_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(opt["Expiry"][i],'%b %d, %Y') ，这意味着即使您遍历整个opt["Expiry"] ，也始终会处理相同的条目。
