Python: I have a list of date.I want to calculate the number of days till current date

Question

I want to calculate the number of days till today from this list.

dateslist = [datetime.date(2014, 11, 5), datetime.date(2014, 11, 5), datetime.date(2014, 11, 17), datetime.date(2014, 11, 5)]

Edit: This question was marked duplicate. But I wanted to calculate the number of days, not the time.
I was able to solve this one. Here is the code for reference.

no_of_days = []
for a in dateslist:
    no_of_days.append((datetime.date(2019,1,12) - a).days)

Hi Rishab, can you add more detail around what you the expected output should look like? Thanks — John McCabe, Jan 24 '19 at 17:24
Not quite a duplicate since Rishab is asking for days, not just a datetime difference. — tnknepp, Jan 24 '19 at 17:26

You can generate a list of dates by the following:

import datetime as dt

daysTillToday = [(dt.datetime.now() - r).days for r in dateslist]
