Question

I have a function that removes a file after a certain amount of time. The problem is that it works at later parts of the month, but when I try and remove 7 days from the start of the month it will not substract into the previous month. Does anyone know how to get this to work? The code is below that works out the date and removes the days.

today = datetime.date.today() # Today's date Binary
todaystr = datetime.date.today().isoformat() # Todays date as a string
minus_seven = today.replace(day=today.day-7).isoformat() # Removes 7 days

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

minus_seven = today - datetime.timedelta(days = 7)
