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)

只需使用timetuple方法提取月份，添加您的月份并构建一个新的dateobject。如果有一个已经存在的方法，我不知道它。

import datetime

def in_the_future(months=1):
    year, month, day = datetime.date.today().timetuple()[:3]
    new_month = month + months
    return datetime.date(year + (new_month / 12), (new_month % 12) or 12, day)

这个API有点笨拙，但可以作为示例使用。这显然也不适用于像2008-01-31 + 1个月这样的极端情况。：）

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)

当我需要添加几个月或几年的时间，并且不想导入更多的库时，我就会这样做。

                return True
            else:
                return False
        else:
            return True

只需创建一个datetime.date()对象，调用add_month(date)来添加一个月，调用add_year(date)来添加一个年。

使用python datetime模块为datetime.today()添加6个月的时间增量。

http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html

你当然要解决Johannes weß提出的问题——你说的6个月是什么意思?

假设你的datetime变量叫做date:

date=datetime.datetime(year=date.year+int((date.month+6)/12),
                       month=(date.month+6)%13 + (1 if (date.month + 
                       months>12) else 0), day=date.day)
