[Python] Create a list of date and time (datetime type) for a certain period

import datetime

def list_date(start_date='2020-01-01', end_date='2020-01-31'):

    #Convert str type to datetime type.
    date_start = datetime.datetime.strptime(start_date, '%Y-%m-%d')
    date_end = datetime.datetime.strptime(end_date, '%Y-%m-%d')

    #Calculate the interval between the start date and the end date.
    days = (date_end - date_start).days

    #The for statement is rotated by the interval and the day is added.
    tmp_date = start_date
    date = [tmp_date]
    for i in range(days):
        tmp_date += datetime.timedelta(days=1)
        date.append(tmp_date)

    return date

date = list_date(start_date='2020-01-01', end_date='2020-01-05')
print(date)

[datetime.datetime(2020 1, 1, 0, 0),
 datetime.datetime(2020 1, 2, 0, 0),
 datetime.datetime(2020 1, 3, 0, 0),
 datetime.datetime(2020 1, 4, 0, 0),
 datetime.datetime(2020 1, 5, 0, 0)]
