Any time the user expects "one month from the last day of January" to mean "the last day of February". I dare say that if you did a poll of non-programmers, that would be a very common expectation, possibly the most common. I just asked the missus, who is a non-programmer, what date is one month after 31st January and her answer was "2rd of March on leap years, otherwise 3rd of March". -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ 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
