The key thing missing (I believe) from dateutil is any equivalent of monthmod. Hmm, it might be possible via relativedelta(d1,d2), but it's not clear to me from the documentation precisely what attributes/methods of a relativedelta object are valid for getting data *out* of it. I do agree, though, that any proposal to extend the Python datetime module should at least be informed by the design of the dateutil module.
