I'm creating a report that is supposed to harvest the data for the previous month. So I need a way to get the first day and the last day of the previous month. Would you please tell me how to do this?
>>> from datetime import date, datetime, timedelta >>> def prev_bounds(when=None): ... if not when: when = datetime.today() ... this_first = date(when.year, when.month, 1) ... prev_end = this_first - timedelta(days=1) ... prev_first = date(prev_end.year, prev_end.month, 1) ... return prev_first, prev_end ... >>> prev_bounds() (datetime.date(2008, 12, 1), datetime.date(2008, 12, 31)) >>> prev_bounds(datetime.date(2008,3,14) (datetime.date(2008, 2, 1), datetime.date(2008, 2, 29)) -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
