how to get the same day of next month of a given day in python using datetime

Question

i know using datetime.timedelta i can get the date of some days away form given date

daysafter = datetime.date.today() + datetime.timedelta(days=5) 

but seems no datetime.timedelta(month=1)

Answer 1

Use dateutil module. It has relative time deltas:

import datetime from dateutil import relativedelta nextmonth = datetime.date.today() + relativedelta.relativedelta(months=1) 

Beautiful.
