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)

我知道这个问题已经有很多答案，但是使用collections.deque和rotate()方法，可以创建一个函数，该函数接受一个datetime对象作为输入，然后输出一个比当前对象晚一个“业务月”的新datetime对象。如果该月的某一天在下个月不存在，则减去1，直到它到达该月的有效日期，然后返回该对象。

import collections
import datetime

def next_month(dt: datetime.datetime):
    month_list = list(range(1, 12 + 1))
    months = collections.deque(month_list)
    while True:
        this_month = list(months)[0]
        if dt.month == this_month:
            break
        months.rotate(-1)
    months.rotate(-1)
    month_plus = list(months)[0]
    for i in range(4):
        try:
            return dt.replace(month=month_plus, day=dt.day - i)
        except ValueError:
            continue

使用itertools.cycle也可以得到相同的结果。

import datetime
import itertools

def next_month(dt: datetime.datetime):
    month_list = list(range(1, 12 + 1))
    month = itertools.cycle(month_list)
    while True:
        if next(month) == dt.month:
            break
    month_plus = next(month)
    for i in range(4):
        try:
            return dt.replace(month=month_plus, day=dt.day - i)
        except ValueError:
            continue

我发现这个解决方法很好。(使用python-dateutil扩展名)

from datetime import date
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta

six_months = date.today() + relativedelta(months=+6)

这种方法的优势在于，它可以处理28天、30天、31天的问题。这在处理业务规则和场景(比如发票生成等)时非常有用。

$ date(2010,12,31)+relativedelta(months=+1)
  datetime.date(2011, 1, 31)

$ date(2010,12,31)+relativedelta(months=+2)
  datetime.date(2011, 2, 28)

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

PyQt4的QDate类有一个addmonths函数。

>>>from PyQt4.QtCore import QDate  
>>>dt = QDate(2009,12,31)  
>>>required = dt.addMonths(6) 

>>>required
PyQt4.QtCore.QDate(2010, 6, 30)

>>>required.toPyDate()
datetime.date(2010, 6, 30)
