Unfortunately, that's simply impossible. A timedelta is a fixed number of seconds, and the time between one month and the next varies. I am very much in favour of there being the ability to add months to dates though. Obviously there is the question of what to do when you move forward 1 month from the 31st January; in my opinion an optional argument to specify different behaviours would be nice. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
