How to Mock Date Sharding by Range in Python
Split a date interval into fixed-size contiguous shards, returning each window as an ISO date string pair.
from datetime import date, timedelta
def shard_ranges(start_date, end_date, shard_days=7):
if start_date > end_date:
raise ValueError("start_date cannot be after end_date")
shards = []
current = start_date
while current <= end_date:
shard_end = min(current + timedelta(days=shard_days …
