Please guide me to do date manipulation in python such as add/subtract day/week/month from the current date.
Something like NOW() - 1 in excel yields yesterday's date, how can this be achieved in python program?
True guys, python does not have in-built operator overloading to perform manipulations on date variables, such as C or other programming languages. But, the way around for this, can be done by using in-built library datetime with timedelta and relativedelta methods for week and month respectively. Please check the code snippet below:
from datetime import datetime, date, timedelta
print(date.today() + timedelta(weeks=2))
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta
print(datetime.today()+ relativedelta(months=1))2022-11-19
