Add n business days to a given date ignoring holidays and weekends in python

Question

I\'m trying to add n (integer) working days to a given date, the date addition has to avoid the holidays and weekends (it\'s not included in the working days)

Answer 1

If you don't mind using a 3rd party library then dateutil is handy

from dateutil.rrule import *
print "In 4 business days, it's", rrule(DAILY, byweekday=(MO,TU,WE,TH,FR))[4]

You can also look at rruleset and using .exdate() to provide the holidays to skip those in the calculation, and optionally there's a cache option to avoid re-calculating that might be worth looking in to.
