Question

I have fetched a date from database with the following variable

{{ i.operation_date }}

Answer 1

Look at this:

#!/usr/bin/python

import datetime

def addYears(date, years):
    result = date + datetime.timedelta(366 * years)
    if years > 0:
        while result.year - date.year > years or date.month < result.month or date.day < result.day:
            result += datetime.timedelta(-1)
    elif years < 0:
        while result.year - date.year < years or date.month > result.month or date.day > result.day:
            result += datetime.timedelta(1)
    print "input: %s output: %s" % (date, result)
    return result

Example usage:

addYears(datetime.date(2012,1,1), -1)
addYears(datetime.date(2012,1,1), 0)
addYears(datetime.date(2012,1,1), 1)
addYears(datetime.date(2012,1,1), -10)
addYears(datetime.date(2012,1,1), 0)
addYears(datetime.date(2012,1,1), 10)

And output of this example:

input: 2012-01-01 output: 2011-01-01
input: 2012-01-01 output: 2012-01-01
input: 2012-01-01 output: 2013-01-01
input: 2012-01-01 output: 2002-01-01
input: 2012-01-01 output: 2012-01-01
input: 2012-01-01 output: 2022-01-01
