按月开始计算:

from datetime import timedelta
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta

end_date = start_date + relativedelta(months=delta_period) + timedelta(days=-delta_period)

这是我想到的。它移动了正确的月份和年份，但忽略了天数(这是我的情况所需要的)。

import datetime

month_dt = 4
today = datetime.date.today()
y,m = today.year, today.month
m += month_dt-1
year_dt = m//12
new_month = m%12
new_date = datetime.date(y+year_dt, new_month+1, 1)

修改了Johannes Wei在1new_month = 121情况下的答案。这对我来说非常合适。月份可以是正的，也可以是负的。

def addMonth(d,months=1):
    year, month, day = d.timetuple()[:3]
    new_month = month + months
    return datetime.date(year + ((new_month-1) / 12), (new_month-1) % 12 +1, day)

这里有一个dateutil的例子。relativedelta，我发现它对于迭代过去一年很有用，每次跳过一个月到现在的日期:

>>> import datetime
>>> from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta
>>> today = datetime.datetime.today()
>>> month_count = 0
>>> while month_count < 12:
...  day = today - relativedelta(months=month_count)
...  print day
...  month_count += 1
...

2009-08-07 10:51:45.187968

和其他答案一样，你必须弄清楚你说的“6个月后”到底是什么意思。如果你的意思是“六年后某个月的今天”，那么这个是:

datetime.datetime.now() + relativedelta(months=6)

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 datetime模块为datetime.today()添加6个月的时间增量。

你当然要解决Johannes weß提出的问题——你说的6个月是什么意思?
