How to get all possible combination of 15 minute time blocks for a given start time, end time, and a-CodePudding

A machine with ID M1 has operation start time as 0 days 04:52:00 and end time as 0 days 08:54:00. Essentially, the machine is only operating for 4 hr 2 minutes in an entire day with 1198 minutes available for maintenance (AT). The time required for maintenance is 65 minutes. I want a list of all combinations of 65 minutes from 1198 minutes available within the window 0 days 08:55:00 to 1 days 04:51:00 until it starts the service next day.

MID ST              ET              AT
M1  0 days 04:52:00 0 days 08:54:00 1198

What I have tried?

The code discussed in Create five minute time blocks (Pandas/Python) is only applicable for a given timestamp not newly generated timestamp.

Pass to that function StartDate and EndDate and Interval: In your case:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def datetime_range(start, end, delta):
    current = start
    while current < end:
        yield current
        current  = delta

start = datetime.now()   pd.Timedelta(days=1)
end = start   pd.Timedelta(minutes=1198)
interval = timedelta(minutes=65)

dts = [dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d T%H:%M Z') for dt in 
       datetime_range(start, end, interval)]

print(dts)

print block (scopes):

def splitIntoBlocks(dts):
    for i in range(len(dts)):
        print ('block '   dts[i]   '-'   dts[i 1])

splitIntoBlocks(dts)
