I guess, one can simply do this manually: >>> td = datetime.date.today() >>> td datetime.date(2009, 3, 15) >>> td_plus_3_months = datetime.date(td.year, td.month+3, td.day) >>> td_plus_3_months datetime.date(2009, 6, 15) however, one have to check for non existing dates: >>> datetime.date(td.year, td.month+10, td.day) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: month must be in 1..12 >>> hth vbr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
