Python:如何从日期列表中计算日期范围？

Question

我有一个日期列表，例如:

['2011-02-27', '2011-02-28', '2011-03-01', '2011-04-12', '2011-04-13', '2011-06-08']

如何找到这些日期中包含的连续日期范围？在上面的例子中，范围应该是:

[{"start_date": '2011-02-27', "end_date": '2011-03-01'},
 {"start_date": '2011-04-12', "end_date": '2011-04-13'},
 {"start_date": '2011-06-08', "end_date": '2011-06-08'}
]

谢谢。

这行得通，但我对此并不满意，将致力于更清洁的解决方案并编辑答案。完成，这是一个干净、有效的解决方案:

import datetime
import pprint

def parse(date):
    return datetime.date(*[int(i) for i in date.split('-')])

def get_ranges(dates):
    while dates:
        end = 1
        try:
            while dates[end] - dates[end - 1] == datetime.timedelta(days=1):
                end += 1
        except IndexError:
            pass

        yield {
            'start-date': dates[0],
            'end-date': dates[end-1]
        }
        dates = dates[end:]

dates = [
    '2011-02-27', '2011-02-28', '2011-03-01',
    '2011-04-12', '2011-04-13',
    '2011-06-08'
]

# Parse each date and convert it to a date object. Also ensure the dates
# are sorted, you can remove 'sorted' if you don't need it
dates = sorted([parse(d) for d in dates]) 

pprint.pprint(list(get_ranges(dates)))

和相关输出:

[{'end-date': datetime.date(2011, 3, 1),
  'start-date': datetime.date(2011, 2, 27)},
 {'end-date': datetime.date(2011, 4, 13),
  'start-date': datetime.date(2011, 4, 12)},
 {'end-date': datetime.date(2011, 6, 8),
  'start-date': datetime.date(2011, 6, 8)}]
