The documentation is very clear about this: http://docs.python.org/lib/datetime-timedelta.html """ Instance attributes (read-only): days Between -999999999 and 999999999 inclusive seconds Between 0 and 86399 inclusive microseconds Between 0 and 999999 inclusive """ So (date_a - date_b).days will give you what you need.
