我经常需要一个月的最后一天来保持上个月的最后一天。为了解决这个问题，我在计算前加一天，然后在返回前再减去它。

from datetime import date, timedelta

# it's a lot faster with a constant day
DAY = timedelta(1)

def add_month(a_date, months):
    "Add months to date and retain last day in month."
    next_day = a_date + DAY
    # calculate new year and month
    m_sum = next_day.month + months - 1
    y = next_day.year + m_sum // 12
    m = m_sum % 12 + 1
    try:
        return date(y, m, next_day.day) - DAY
    except ValueError:
        # on fail return last day in month
        # can't fail on december so I don't bother changing the year
        return date(y, m + 1, 1) - DAY

import datetime

修改了AddMonths()在Zope中使用和处理无效的天数:

def AddMonths(d,x):
    days_of_month = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31]
    newmonth = ((( d.month() - 1) + x ) % 12 ) + 1
    newyear  = d.year() + ((( d.month() - 1) + x ) // 12 ) 
    if d.day() > days_of_month[newmonth-1]:
      newday = days_of_month[newmonth-1]
    else:
      newday = d.day() 
    return DateTime( newyear, newmonth, newday)

下面是一个示例，它允许用户决定如何返回一个日期，其中一天大于一个月中的天数。

def add_months(date, months, endOfMonthBehaviour='RoundUp'):
    assert endOfMonthBehaviour in ['RoundDown', 'RoundIn', 'RoundOut', 'RoundUp'], \
        'Unknown end of month behaviour'
    year = date.year + (date.month + months - 1) / 12
    month = (date.month + months - 1) % 12 + 1
    day = date.day
    last = monthrange(year, month)[1]
    if day > last:
        if endOfMonthBehaviour == 'RoundDown' or \
            endOfMonthBehaviour == 'RoundOut' and months < 0 or \
            endOfMonthBehaviour == 'RoundIn' and months > 0:
            day = last
        elif endOfMonthBehaviour == 'RoundUp' or \
            endOfMonthBehaviour == 'RoundOut' and months > 0 or \
            endOfMonthBehaviour == 'RoundIn' and months < 0:
            # we don't need to worry about incrementing the year
            # because there will never be a day in December > 31
            month += 1
            day = 1
    return datetime.date(year, month, day)


>>> from calendar import monthrange
>>> import datetime
>>> add_months(datetime.datetime(2016, 1, 31), 1)
datetime.date(2016, 3, 1)
>>> add_months(datetime.datetime(2016, 1, 31), -2)
datetime.date(2015, 12, 1)
>>> add_months(datetime.datetime(2016, 1, 31), -2, 'RoundDown')
datetime.date(2015, 11, 30)

使用Python 3。X你可以这样做:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from dateutil.relativedelta import *

date = datetime.now()
print(date)
# 2018-09-24 13:24:04.007620

date = date + relativedelta(months=+6)
print(date)
# 2019-03-24 13:24:04.007620

但是你需要安装python-dateutil模块:

pip install python-dateutil

在这个函数中，n可以是正数，也可以是负数。

def addmonth(d, n):
    n += 1
    dd = datetime.date(d.year + n/12, d.month + n%12, 1)-datetime.timedelta(1)
    return datetime.date(dd.year, dd.month, min(d.day, dd.day))
