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)

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?

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

在这个函数中，n可以是正数，也可以是负数。

def addmonth(d, n):
    n += 1
    dd = datetime.date(d.year + n/12, d.month + n%12, 1)-datetime.timedelta(1)
    return datetime.date(dd.year, dd.month, min(d.day, dd.day))

按月开始计算:

from datetime import timedelta
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta

end_date = start_date + relativedelta(months=delta_period) + timedelta(days=-delta_period)
