Question

Not sure how to approach this one.

User supplies an argument, ie, program.exe ‘2001-08-12’

I need to add a single day to that argument – this will represent a date range for another part of the program. I am aware that you can add or subtract from the current day but how does one add or subtract from a user supplied date?

Answer 1

import datetime
...
date=time.strptime(argv[1], "%y-%m-%d");
newdate=date + datetime.timedelta(days=1)
