default None Right bound for generating dates. periods : int, default None Number of periods to generate. freq : str, Timedelta, datetime.timedelta, or DateOffset, default 'B' Frequency strings can have multiples, e.g. '5H'. The default is business daily ('B'). tz : str or None Time zone name for returning localized DatetimeIndex, for example Asia/Beijing. normalize : bool, default False Normalize start/end dates to midnight before generating date range. name : str, default None Name of the resulting DatetimeIndex. weekmask : str or None, default None Weekmask of valid business days, passed to ``numpy.busdaycalendar``, only used when custom frequency strings are passed. The default value None is equivalent to 'Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri'. holidays : list-like or None, default None Dates to exclude from the set of valid business days, passed to ``numpy.busdaycalendar``, only used when custom frequency strings are passed. inclusive : {"both", "neither", "left", "right"}, default "both" Include boundaries; Whether to set each bound as closed or open. .. versionadded:: 1.4.0 **kwargs For compatibility. Has no effect on the result. Returns ------- DatetimeIndex Notes ----- Of the four parameters: ``start``, ``end``, ``periods``, and ``freq``, exactly three must be specified. Specifying ``freq`` is a requirement for ``bdate_range``. Use ``date_range`` if specifying ``freq`` is not desired. To learn more about the frequency strings, please see `this link `__. Examples -------- Note how the two weekend days are skipped in the result. >>> pd.bdate_range(start='1/1/2018', end='1/08/2018') DatetimeIndex(['2018-01-01', '2018-01-02', '2018-01-03', '2018-01-04', '2018-01-05', '2018-01-08'], dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='B') Nz>freq must be specified for bdate_range; use date_range insteadÚ
