pandas.bdate_range#

pandas.bdate_range(start=None, end=None, periods=None, freq='B', tz=None, normalize=True, name=None, weekmask=None, holidays=None, closed=NoDefault.no_default, inclusive=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Return a fixed frequency DatetimeIndex, with business day as the default frequency.

Parameters

startstr or datetime-like, default None: Left bound for generating dates.
endstr or datetime-like, default None: Right bound for generating dates.
periodsint, default None: Number of periods to generate.
freqstr or DateOffset, default ‘B’ (business daily): Frequency strings can have multiples, e.g. ‘5H’.
tzstr or None: Time zone name for returning localized DatetimeIndex, for example Asia/Beijing.
normalizebool, default False: Normalize start/end dates to midnight before generating date range.
namestr, default None: Name of the resulting DatetimeIndex.
weekmaskstr or None, default None: Weekmask of valid business days, passed to numpy.busdaycalendar, only used when custom frequency strings are passed. The default value None is equivalent to ‘Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri’.
holidayslist-like or None, default None: Dates to exclude from the set of valid business days, passed to numpy.busdaycalendar, only used when custom frequency strings are passed.
closedstr, default None: Make the interval closed with respect to the given frequency to the ‘left’, ‘right’, or both sides (None).

Deprecated since version 1.4.0: Argument closed has been deprecated to standardize boundary inputs. Use inclusive instead, to set each bound as closed or open.
inclusive{“both”, “neither”, “left”, “right”}, default “both”: Include boundaries; Whether to set each bound as closed or open.

New in version 1.4.0.
**kwargs: For compatibility. Has no effect on the result.

Returns

DatetimeIndex

Notes

Of the four parameters: start, end, periods, and freq, exactly three must be specified. Specifying freq is a requirement for bdate_range. Use date_range if specifying freq is not desired.

Examples

Note how the two weekend days are skipped in the result.

>>> pd.bdate_range(start='1/1/2018', end='1/08/2018')
