使用Python标准库，即没有dateutil或其他，并解决“2月31日”问题:

import datetime
import calendar

def add_months(date, months):
    months_count = date.month + months

    # Calculate the year
    year = date.year + int(months_count / 12)

    # Calculate the month
    month = (months_count % 12)
    if month == 0:
        month = 12

    # Calculate the day
    day = date.day
    last_day_of_month = calendar.monthrange(year, month)[1]
    if day > last_day_of_month:
        day = last_day_of_month

    new_date = datetime.date(year, month, day)
    return new_date

测试:

>>>date = datetime.date(2018, 11, 30)

>>>print(date, add_months(date, 3))
(datetime.date(2018, 11, 30), datetime.date(2019, 2, 28))

>>>print(date, add_months(date, 14))
(datetime.date(2018, 12, 31), datetime.date(2020, 2, 29))

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?

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
$ 

另一种解决方案:计算下个月的天数总和，并将结果添加到当前日期。

import calendar
import datetime

def date_from_now(months):
    today = datetime.datetime.today()

    month = today.month
    year = today.year
    sum_days = 0

    for i in range(int(months)):
        month += 1

        if month == 13:
            month = 1
            year += 1

        sum_days += calendar.monthrange(year, month)[1]

    return datetime.date.today() + datetime.timedelta(sum_days)

print(date_from_now(12)) # if to day is 2017-01-01, output: 2019-01-01 

这并没有回答具体的问题(仅使用datetime)，但是，鉴于其他人建议使用不同的模块，这里有一个使用pandas的解决方案。

import datetime as dt
import pandas as pd

date = dt.date.today() - \
       pd.offsets.DateOffset(months=6)

print(date)

2019-05-04 00:00:00

在闰年哪种方式会正常工作

date = dt.datetime(2019,8,29) - \
       pd.offsets.DateOffset(months=6)
print(date)

2019-02-28 00:00:00

使用下面给出的函数，你可以得到x个月之后/之前的日期。

from datetime import date

def next_month(given_date, month):
    yyyy = int(((given_date.year * 12 + given_date.month) + month)/12)
    mm = int(((given_date.year * 12 + given_date.month) + month)%12)

    if mm == 0:
        yyyy -= 1
        mm = 12
    return given_date.replace(year=yyyy, month=mm)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    today = date.today()
    print(today)

    for mm in [-12, -1, 0, 1, 2, 12, 20 ]:
        next_date = next_month(today, mm)
        print(next_date)
