title: How can I use pandas.date_range() to obtain a time series with n specified periods (equal) between a specified start and end date
body: <p>I'd like to get a list or series of n dates between a start and end date (inclusive of those bounds), but</p>
  
  <pre><code>dateIndex=pd.date_range(start=dt.datetime.today().date(), end=pd.to_datetime(expiry).date(), periods=n)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>results with ValueError: Must specify two of start, end, or periods. I cannot use freq=Freq argument because my date range won't be uniform - it may be anywhere from a month to 2 years span, thus I'd like an equally spaced time series with n points.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
