Get Last Day of the Month in Python

How can I get the number of days in the current month? I.e.,if the current month is “Jan 2012” I should get 31. If it is “Feb 2012” I should get 29.

Answer 1

As Peter mentioned, calendar.monthrange(year, month) returns weekday (0-6 ~ Mon-Sun) and number of days (28-31) for year, month.

>>> import calendar
>>> calendar.monthrange(2012,1)[1]
31
>>> calendar.monthrange(2012,2)[1]
29

Edit: updated answer to return the number of days of the current month

>>> import calendar
>>> import datetime
>>> now = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> calendar.monthrange(now.year, now.month)[1]
29
