python datetime get seconds between datetimes code example

Example 1: python difference in dates in seconds

future_date = datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 2)
past_date = datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 1)

difference = (future_date - past_date)
Calculate difference in time


total_seconds = difference.total_seconds()
Convert time difference to seconds


print(total_seconds)
OUTPUT
86400.0

Example 2: python datetime get all days between two dates

from datetime import date, timedelta

sdate = date(2008, 8, 15)   # start date
edate = date(2008, 9, 15)   # end date

delta = edate - sdate       # as timedelta

for i in range(delta.days + 1):
    day = sdate + timedelta(days=i)
    print(day)
