[Python-Dev] Issue5434: datetime.monthdelta (original) (raw)

My thoughts on balance regarding monthdeltas: -- Month operations are useful, people will want to do them -- I think having a monthdelta object rather than a method makes sense to me -- I think the documentation is severely underdone. The functionality is not intuitive and therefore the docs need a lot more detail than usual -- Can you specify "1 month plus 10 days"?, i.e. add a monthdelta to a timedelta? -- What about other cyclical periods (fortnights, 28 days, lunar cycles, high tides)?
