Mailman 3 Datetime operation in itertools count - Python-ideas

8 Feb 2022

      I wanted to generate all the dates between two date ranges for which I was
using count function in the itertools and to my surprise count function
doesn't support datetime operation.

 For example
...
import datetime
from itertools import count
count(datetime.date.today(), datetime.timedelta(1))
Why is count function only limited to numbers shouldn't we make it generic
that it should support operation like datetime where addition between the
objects is possible.

Would like to hear thoughts from you people.
