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

我认为这样做会比手动添加天数更安全:

import datetime
today = datetime.date.today()

def addMonths(dt, months = 0):
    new_month = months + dt.month
    year_inc = 0
    if new_month>12:
        year_inc +=1
        new_month -=12
    return dt.replace(month = new_month, year = dt.year+year_inc)

newdate = addMonths(today, 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)

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)

user417751之前回答的重做。也许不是那么python的方式，但它照顾到不同的月份长度和闰年。在本例中，2012年1月31日+ 1个月= 2012年2月29日。

import datetime
import calendar

def add_mths(d, x):
    newday = d.day
    newmonth = (((d.month - 1) + x) % 12) + 1
    newyear  = d.year + (((d.month - 1) + x) // 12)
    if newday > calendar.mdays[newmonth]:
        newday = calendar.mdays[newmonth]
        if newyear % 4 == 0 and newmonth == 2:
            newday += 1
    return datetime.date(newyear, newmonth, newday)

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)
