Python Pandas: Resample date range

Question

I create a list of pandas datetimes with the following line:

range = pd.date_range(start = '5/3/2005', periods =5+1, freq='1D')

Is there a quick way to resample that list so that it spans the same range but with a frequency of 30 min? (so far I can only see applications of that logic to Series or DataFrames index, but no daterange)

Answer 1

One way is:

date_range = pd.date_range(start = '5/3/2005', periods =5+1, freq='1D')
new_date_range = date_range.to_series().asfreq('30 min').index

Also, range is a builtin function, so I would not call the variable "range".

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

You could also do

date_range = pd.date_range(start = '5/3/2005', periods =5+1, freq='1D')
new_date_range = pd.date_range(date_range.min(), date_range.max(), freq='30 min')
