Dateutil包实现了这样的功能。但要知道，这将是天真的，因为其他人已经指出。

我找不到这个问题的确切解决方案，所以我将发布我的解决方案，以防使用标准日历和datetime库可能有任何帮助。这适用于添加和减去月份，并考虑月末滚动和最后一个月比第一个月天数少的情况。如果你正在寻找更复杂的操作，我还有一个更通用的解决方案，它添加了定期间隔(天，月，年，季度，学期等)，如:“1m”，“-9m”，“-1.5y”，“-3q”，“1s”等。

from datetime import datetime
from calendar import monthrange
def date_bump_months(start_date, months):
    """
    bumps months back and forth. 
    --> if initial date is end-of-month, i will move to corresponding month-end
    --> ir inital date.day is greater than end of month of final date, it casts it to momth-end
    """
    signbit = -1 if months < 0 else 1
    d_year, d_month = divmod(abs(months),12)    
    end_year = start_date.year + d_year*signbit 
    end_month = 0
    if signbit ==-1:            
        if d_month < start_date.month:
            end_month = start_date.month - d_month
        else:
            end_year -=1
            end_month = 12 - (d_month - start_date.month)
    else:
        end_month +=start_date.month
        if end_month  > 12:
            end_year +=1
            end_month -=12
    # check if we are running end-of-month dates
    eom_run = monthrange(start_date.year, start_date.month)[1]==start_date.day
    eom_month = monthrange((end_year), (end_month))[1]
    if eom_run:
        end_day = eom_month 
    else:
        end_day = min(start_date.day, eom_month )    
    return date(end_year, end_month, end_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)

我对Tony Diep的答案的修改，可能稍微更优雅(当然，Python 2，匹配问题和原始答案的日期，对于Python 3，必要时修改，至少包括/ to //):

def add_months(date, months):
    month = date.month + months - 1
    year = date.year + (month / 12)
    month = (month % 12) + 1
    day = date.day
    while (day > 0):
        try:
            new_date = date.replace(year=year, month=month, day=day)
            break
        except:
            day = day - 1    
    return new_date

根据“业务需求”解释添加月份，即日期映射到月底之后，应该映射到月底，而不是下一个月。

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
... 
2010-07-07 10:51:45.187968
2010-06-07 10:51:45.187968
2010-05-07 10:51:45.187968
2010-04-07 10:51:45.187968
2010-03-07 10:51:45.187968
2010-02-07 10:51:45.187968
2010-01-07 10:51:45.187968
2009-12-07 10:51:45.187968
2009-11-07 10:51:45.187968
2009-10-07 10:51:45.187968
2009-09-07 10:51:45.187968
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)
