Answer 1

import calendar, datetime

def next_month ( date ):
    """return a date one month in advance of 'date'. 
    If the next month has fewer days then the current date's month, this will return an
    early date in the following month."""
    return date + datetime.timedelta(days=calendar.monthrange(date.year,date.month)[1])
