I have the following method:def get_log_dates(the_date_we_want_data_for): t = time.strptime(the_date_we_want_data_for, '%Y%m%d') t2 = datetime.datetime(*t[:-2]) extra_day = datetime.timedelta(days=1) t3 = t2 + extra_day next_log_date = t3.strftime('%Y%m%d') return (the_date_we_want_data_for, next_log_date) Quite apart from not much liking the t[123] variables, does date arithmetic really need to be this gnarly? How could I improve the above, especially from a readability perspective? Or is it ok?
Please in future provide a specification of the algorithm. What is is to do. Saves me a lot of time trying to decipher the code.
