I have a date "10/10/11(m-d-y)"
and I want to add 5 days to it using a Python script. Please consider a general solution that works on the month ends also.
I am using following code:
import re
from datetime import datetime
StartDate = "10/10/11"
Date = datetime.strptime(StartDate, "%m/%d/%y")
print Date
-> is printing '2011-10-10 00:00:00'
Now I want to add 5 days to this date. I used the following code:
EndDate = Date.today()+timedelta(days=10)
Which returned this error:
name 'timedelta' is not defined
The previous answers are correct but it's generally a better practice to do:
import datetime
Then you'll have, using datetime.timedelta
:
date_1 = datetime.datetime.strptime(start_date, "%m/%d/%y")
end_date = date_1 + datetime.timedelta(days=10)
