Python: create a sequence of dates with only weekdays (Monday to Friday)

Question

I have a date sequence

from datetime import datetime
import pandas as pd
start = datetime(2018, 3, 4)
end = datetime(2018, 3, 17)
index1 = pd.date_range(start, end)

How can I extract only Monday to Friday from the sequence? Any other solution (not using datetime) will also be helpful.

Answer 1

You may use the paremeter freq and set it to B for business day frequency

index1 = pd.date_range(start, end, freq='B')

Or you can use the dedicated method pandas.bdate_range() . You can find the other frequencies :

index1 = pd.bdate_range(start, end)

Answer 2

您可以将freq='B'作为参数传递给date_range以避免周末（仅包括工作日）：

index1 = pd.date_range(start, end, freq='B')
