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))

我的实现基于taleinat的答案:

import datetime
import calendar

def add_months(orig_date, month_count = 1):
    while month_count > 12:
        month_count -= 12
        orig_date = add_months(orig_date, 12)
    new_year = orig_date.year
    new_month = orig_date.month + month_count
    # note: in datetime.date, months go from 1 to 12
    if new_month > 12:
        new_year += 1
        new_month -= 12

    last_day_of_month = calendar.monthrange(new_year, new_month)[1]
    new_day = min(orig_date.day, last_day_of_month)

    return orig_date.replace(year=new_year, month=new_month, day=new_day)

有了这个功能，你可以添加任意多的月份。

from datetime import date
dt = date(2021, 1, 31)

print(add_months(dt, 49))

返回 2025-02-28

Dateutil包实现了这样的功能。但要知道，这将是天真的，因为其他人已经指出。

import datetime

从这个答案中，请参见parsedatetime。下面是代码示例。更多细节:使用许多自然语言-> YYYY-MM-DD转换示例进行单元测试，以及明显的parsedatetime转换挑战/bug。

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import time, calendar
from datetime import date

# from https://github.com/bear/parsedatetime
import parsedatetime as pdt

def print_todays_date():
    todays_day_of_week = calendar.day_name[date.today().weekday()]
    print "today's date = " + todays_day_of_week + ', ' + \
                              time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

def convert_date(natural_language_date):
    cal = pdt.Calendar()
    (struct_time_date, success) = cal.parse(natural_language_date)
    if success:
        formal_date = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d', struct_time_date)
    else:
        formal_date = '(conversion failed)'
    print '{0:12s} -> {1:10s}'.format(natural_language_date, formal_date)

print_todays_date()
convert_date('6 months')

上面的代码从MacOSX机器生成以下内容:

$ ./parsedatetime_simple.py 
today's date = Wednesday, 2015-05-13
6 months     -> 2015-11-13
$ 

一个简单的建议是《绿箭侠》

PIP安装箭头

>>> import arrow

>>> arrow.now().date()
datetime.date(2019, 6, 28)
>>> arrow.now().shift(months=6).date()
datetime.date(2019, 12, 28)
