from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from collections import OrderedDict
dates = ["2014-10-10", "2016-01-07"]
start, end = [datetime.strptime(_, "%Y-%m-%d") for _ in dates]
OrderedDict(((start + timedelta(_)).strftime(r"%b-%y"), None) for _ in xrange((end - start).days)).keys()

#['Oct-14', 'Nov-14', 'Dec-14', 'Jan-15', 'Feb-15', 'Mar-15', 'Apr-15',
# 'May-15', 'Jun-15', 'Jul-15', 'Aug-15', 'Sep-15', 'Oct-15', 'Nov-15',
# 'Dec-15', 'Jan-16']

# Iterates over all the days in interval but OrderedDict removes keys
