As I said, it’s an interesting exercise in any case. I have no idea if the core devs would be interested in adding it.
There have been a couple recipes on this thread for an iterator, but I envision something like the range() object — it’s a lazy Sequence, not just an iterator.
I think that would be pretty cool.

I can give it a try, but I have never done it before and anything which I should be knowing beforehand because it will be my first time.
I would like to listen from other fellow developers what they think about this?
I think a datetime.range object could be useful.
Perhaps someone can write one and then see if the core devs would accept it in the stdlib.
It would be na interesting exercise in any case :-)

I get your point. I checked the code which is in C and implement the solution which was something similar to yours.
Should we have some function like that in the datetime module that can generate date, and time as well between two ranges?
This looks like a feature to me that can be helpful.
Yesterday I found Pandas Library has this
feature. What do you think?

Because it's implemented in C for speed, and limiting it to numbers
makes it both easier to implement (in C) and faster.

start = date.datetime.today()
(start + datetime.timedelta(n) for n in count())
does exactly the same as your code does, so it's not *that* hard to
get the functionality you want already.
