How to make a sequence dates in python?

Question

I need to create a date array of 2018-01-01, 2020-01-11, the dates being nay can be continuous (eg 2018-01-01, 2018-01-02, 2018-01-03...) and include the ends.

The closest I could get was:

import pandas as pd
date_list = pd.date_range(start='2018-01-01', end='2020-01-11', freq = '3M', closed= 'left')
date_list
Out[3]: 
DatetimeIndex(['2018-01-31', '2018-04-30', '2018-07-31', '2018-10-31',
           '2019-01-31', '2019-04-30', '2019-07-31', '2019-10-31'],
          dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='3M')

However it did not include the extremities (2018-01-01, 2020-01-11).

Márcio, see if this is what you need.

import pandas as pd
import datetime


dRan = pd.date_range(start ='2018-01-01', 

       end ='2020-01-11', periods = 13)   

res = dRan.strftime('%d/%m/%Y')

print(res)
