Python: Create 12 fixed dates from a specified date over a given period

Python Datetime: Exercise-27 with Solution

Write a Python program to create 12 fixed dates from a specified date over a given period. The difference between two dates will be 20.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import datetime
def every_20_days(date):
    print('Starting Date: {d}'.format(d=date))
    print("Next 12 days :")
    for _ in range(12):
        date=date+datetime.timedelta(days=20)
        print('{d}'.format(d=date))

dt = datetime.date(2016,8,1)
every_20_days(dt)

Sample Output:

Starting Date: 2016-08-01                                                                                     
Next 12 days :
