Calculating future dates

[Toine]

Hello,

I'm new to Python so please bare with me...

I need to calculate a date that is exactly 31 days from the current
date in YYYY-MM-DD format. I know that date.today() returns the
current date, but how can I add 31 days to this result? I'm sure this
task is simple, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Thanks

str(datetime.date.today() + datetime.timedelta(31))

>>import datetime
print datetime.date.today()+datetime.timedelta(days=31)

str(datetime.date.today() + datetime.timedelta(31))

Your example gave me a few errors but I was able to adapt it into
this:

str(date.today() + timedelta(31))

Thanks for your help

That only works if you're importing 'date' and 'timedelta' into the
current namespace. It's better to keep them in the 'datetime'
namespace, so it's clear what comes from where.

>>import datetime
str(datetime.date.today() + datetime.timedelta(31))
