如果您有两个date对象，您可以将它们相减，这将计算一个timedelta对象。

from datetime import date

d0 = date(2008, 8, 18)
d1 = date(2008, 9, 26)
delta = d1 - d0
print(delta.days)

文档的相关部分: https://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html。

请看另一个例子。

在python中不使用datetime对象。

# A date has day 'd', month 'm' and year 'y' 
class Date:
    def __init__(self, d, m, y):
            self.d = d
            self.m = m
            self.y = y

# To store number of days in all months from 
# January to Dec. 
monthDays = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30,
                                            31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 ]

# This function counts number of leap years 
# before the given date 
def countLeapYears(d):

    years = d.y

    # Check if the current year needs to be considered 
    # for the count of leap years or not 
    if (d.m <= 2) :
            years-= 1

    # An year is a leap year if it is a multiple of 4, 
    # multiple of 400 and not a multiple of 100. 
    return int(years / 4 - years / 100 + years / 400 )


# This function returns number of days between two 
# given dates 
def getDifference(dt1, dt2) :

    # COUNT TOTAL NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE FIRST DATE 'dt1' 

    # initialize count using years and day 
    n1 = dt1.y * 365 + dt1.d

    # Add days for months in given date 
    for i in range(0, dt1.m - 1) :
            n1 += monthDays[i]

    # Since every leap year is of 366 days, 
    # Add a day for every leap year 
    n1 += countLeapYears(dt1)

    # SIMILARLY, COUNT TOTAL NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE 'dt2' 

    n2 = dt2.y * 365 + dt2.d
    for i in range(0, dt2.m - 1) :
            n2 += monthDays[i]
    n2 += countLeapYears(dt2)

    # return difference between two counts 
    return (n2 - n1)


# Driver program 
dt1 = Date(31, 12, 2018 )
dt2 = Date(1, 1, 2019 )

print(getDifference(dt1, dt2), "days")

您需要datetime模块。

>>> from datetime import datetime 
>>> datetime(2008,08,18) - datetime(2008,09,26) 
datetime.timedelta(4) 

另一个例子:

>>> import datetime 
>>> today = datetime.date.today() 
>>> print(today)
2008-09-01 
>>> last_year = datetime.date(2007, 9, 1) 
>>> print(today - last_year)
366 days, 0:00:00 

正如这里所指出的

圣诞节前几天:

>>> import datetime
>>> today = datetime.date.today()
>>> someday = datetime.date(2008, 12, 25)
>>> diff = someday - today
>>> diff.days
86

这里有更多的算术。

以下是解决这个问题的三种方法:

from datetime import datetime

Now = datetime.now()
StartDate = datetime.strptime(str(Now.year) +'-01-01', '%Y-%m-%d')
NumberOfDays = (Now - StartDate)

print(NumberOfDays.days)                     # Starts at 0
print(datetime.now().timetuple().tm_yday)    # Starts at 1
print(Now.strftime('%j'))                    # Starts at 1

from datetime import date
def d(s):
  [month, day, year] = map(int, s.split('/'))
  return date(year, month, day)
def days(start, end):
  return (d(end) - d(start)).days
print days('8/18/2008', '9/26/2008')

当然，这假设您已经验证了日期的格式为r'\d+/\d+/\d+'。
