The example you give does have fairly obvious logic. But how does it handle Feb 28th, 2009 + 3 months? To me, there are two "obvious" answers: May 28th, 2009 or May 31st, 2009. The question is intent; is Feb 28th an arbitrary day of the month, or is it the last day of the month, which for something like a monthly bill reminder is more likely? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
