Uniform date distribution.

Date objects will be uniformly distributed between a start and end date.

Parameters:

• lower (str or datetime.date) – Earliest possible date to be generated from this distribution. String formatted in ISO format, see examples below or use date objects from the python standard library datetime.

• upper (str or datetime.date) – Latest possible date to be generated from this distribution. String formatted in ISO format, see examples below or use date objects from the python standard library datetime.

Examples

>>> DateUniformDistribution(lower="10:39:12", upper="10:39:45", precision="seconds")
