Use the freq B for business days

pd.date_range('2015-01-01', '2015-12-31', freq='B')

DatetimeIndex(['2015-01-01', '2015-01-02', '2015-01-05', '2015-01-06',
               '2015-01-07', '2015-01-08', '2015-01-09', '2015-01-12',
               '2015-01-13', '2015-01-14',
               ...
               '2015-12-18', '2015-12-21', '2015-12-22', '2015-12-23',
               '2015-12-24', '2015-12-25', '2015-12-28', '2015-12-29',
               '2015-12-30', '2015-12-31'],
              dtype='datetime64[ns]', length=261, freq='B')
