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)

这个解决方案适用于12月，而本页上的大多数答案都不适用。 在使用模量(%)或整数除法(//)之前，您需要首先将月份从基于1的索引(例如Jan = 1)转移到基于0的索引(例如Jan = 0)，否则11月(11)加上1个月得到12，当找到余数(12% 12)时，得到0。

(不要建议“(月% 12)+ 1”或10月+ 1 = 12月!)

def AddMonths(d,x):
    newmonth = ((( d.month - 1) + x ) % 12 ) + 1
    newyear  = int(d.year + ((( d.month - 1) + x ) / 12 ))
    return datetime.date( newyear, newmonth, d.day)

然而……这并不能解释1月31日+一个月的问题。所以我们回到OP，你说增加一个月是什么意思?一种解决方案是回溯，直到找到一个有效的日期，因为大多数人会假设一月的最后一天加一个月等于二月的最后一天。 这也适用于负数的月份。 证明:

>>> import datetime
>>> AddMonths(datetime.datetime(2010,8,25),1)
datetime.date(2010, 9, 25)
>>> AddMonths(datetime.datetime(2010,8,25),4)
datetime.date(2010, 12, 25)
>>> AddMonths(datetime.datetime(2010,8,25),5)
datetime.date(2011, 1, 25)
>>> AddMonths(datetime.datetime(2010,8,25),13)
datetime.date(2011, 9, 25)
>>> AddMonths(datetime.datetime(2010,8,25),24)
datetime.date(2012, 8, 25)
>>> AddMonths(datetime.datetime(2010,8,25),-1)
datetime.date(2010, 7, 25)
>>> AddMonths(datetime.datetime(2010,8,25),0)
datetime.date(2010, 8, 25)
>>> AddMonths(datetime.datetime(2010,8,25),-12)
datetime.date(2009, 8, 25)
>>> AddMonths(datetime.datetime(2010,8,25),-8)
datetime.date(2009, 12, 25)
>>> AddMonths(datetime.datetime(2010,8,25),-7)
datetime.date(2010, 1, 25)>>> 

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。

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

我知道这是6个月，但是如果你要添加一个月，答案在谷歌中显示为“在python中添加月”:

import calendar

date = datetime.date.today()    //Or your date

datetime.timedelta(days=calendar.monthrange(date.year,date.month)[1])

这将计算当前月份的天数，并将它们添加到当前日期，如果您在日期上迭代，则使用365/12将AD年的1/12会导致短/长月份出现问题。
