How to find the time interval for the dataset with Python?

Question

I need to find the time interval in Python.

So far, I did:

from datetime import datetime
timestamp1 = 737029.3541666665
earliest_date = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp1)
timestamp2 = 737036.3527777778
most_recent_date = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp2)

But I don't know how to go further.

Thank you.

If you have two timestamps like (based in your example):

from datetime import datetime
timestamp1 = 737029.3541666665
timestamp2 = 737036.3527777778
earliest_date = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp1)
most_recent_date = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp2)

The most simple way to get the time interval between these two date is like:

interval = most_recent_date - earliest_date
# this is a datetime.timedelta object but you can use str() and get some human readable string
str(interval)
# returns: '0:00:06.998611'
