Does this hint help?

import datetime
mydate = datetime.date(2012,10,5)
mydate = mydate + datetime.timedelta(days=30)

Yes! Thanks to all for their rapid responses.

But now I'm thinking it would be handy to not only know that, say, 500
days from today is 2014-02-18, but to know what day if the week that
is. I suppose the calendar module is to be used for this, but I
haven't been able to get it to work for me. So what day of the week IS
2014-02-18?

The docs say
calendar.weekday(year, month, day)
Returns the day of the week (0 is Monday) for year (1970–...), month
(1–12), day (1–31).

import calendar
calendar.weekday(2014, 2, 18)
1

That "1" means Tuesday, right? But how can I use calendar to print out
that word, "TUESDAY"?

Thanks

Dick
