You can do this with datetime.timedelta: In [1]: from datetime import datetime, timedelta In [2]: n=datetime.now() In [3]: n Out[3]: datetime.datetime(2006, 10, 20, 14, 36, 44, 453000) In [4]: later = n + timedelta(days=120) In [5]: later Out[5]: datetime.datetime(2007, 2, 17, 14, 36, 44, 453000) In [6]: n < later Out[6]: True Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
