Function for fetching what months between two dates
Hello, Greetings! I have the following idea of adding a function in Lib/datetime.py which when called with the datetime.date object returns the months between the object datetime.date and the object datetime.date passed as the date_to argument in function. Herewith is the attached link to the commit: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/23713/commits/2941fe88bd9c0c1a5c8ddd4... Kind regards,
Hi. Bundling this into the standard library doesn't seem to provide any real advantage over defining it as a free-standing utility function in your own code. And if it's in your own code you can easily tweak it if you need to :)

What is this function used for? I see it returns a list of (year, month_number) tuples. Once I have collected those (year, month) tuples, what do I do with them? -- Steve

It will be more useful if the returned values are datetime.date objects. The library arrow has arrow.Arrow.range("month", startdate, enddate)
