DatetimeIndex with a frequency greater than dates range now returns only one value

[edouardruiz]

There's a different behavior between 0.16.0 and 0.17.0 on a DatetimeIndex creation with a frequency greater than the dates range:

import pandas as pd
pd.DatetimeIndex(start=pd.Timestamp('2015-04-15'), end=pd.Timestamp('2015-04-18'), freq='7D')

With previous versions I had a DatetimeIndex of length 2: [2015-04-15, 2015-04-22].

With 0.17.0 I get an index with only one value: ['2015-04-15'].

Is it a bug/regression? Is there a way to reproduce the previous behavior?

Here are the the results of pd.show_versions():

In [19]: DatetimeIndex(start=pd.Timestamp('2015-04-15'), periods=2, freq='7D')
Out[19]: DatetimeIndex(['2015-04-15', '2015-04-22'], dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='7D')

IIRC this was a bug previously, @sinhrks ?

[kawochen]

it was #10885?

[jreback]

@kawochen right! thanks.
