Creating a date range in python-polars with the last days of the months?-CodePudding

How do I create a date range in Polars (Python API) with only the last days of the months?

This is the code I have:

pl.date_range(datetime(2022,5,5), datetime(2022,8,10), "1mo", name="dtrange")

The result is: '2022-05-05', '2022-06-05', '2022-07-05', '2022-08-05'

I would like to get: '2022-05-31', '2022-06-30', '2022-07-31'

I know this is possible with Pandas with:

pd.date_range(start=datetime(2022,5,5), end=datetime(2022,8,10), freq='M')

CodePudding user response：

I think you'd need to create the range of days and filter:

(pl.date_range(datetime(2022,5,5), datetime(2022,8,10), "1d", name="dtrange")
   .to_frame()   
   .filter(
      pl.col("dtrange").dt.month() < (pl.col("dtrange")   pl.duration(days=1)).dt.month()
   )
)
