Hello All, it has been a few months since I have used this and I have only
just realised I am having problems with leap years. each time I get to
February of a leap year my program stops, therefore I have attributed it to
my code not accounting for leap years. Is there a simple way to fix my code
(below) to account for leap years?
Thanks
stop_month = datetime(2011, 12, 31)
month = datetime(2011, 01, 01)
while month < stop_month:
accumulate_month(month.year, month.month)
month += timedelta(days=32)
month = month.replace(day=01)
How about this as an alternative, noting that dateutil is a third party
library and not in the standard library?
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta as rd
def incrMonth(date):
return date + rd(months = 1)
The same pattern can be used for days, years etc.
