Make it easy to get a tuple of the start and end of the month

Why would you want this? Start of the month is easy: just date(year, month, 1). End of the month is often unnecessary because it is more pythonic to work with semi-open ranges and use first of the next month instead.

Except next month may well be in next year.. blah

And I don't care about pythonic ranges if I have to push the values through a BETWEEN query in SQL.

import calendar import datetime

end = datetime.date(year, month, calendar.monthrange(year, month)[1]) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/attachments/20101014/180f5efb/attachment.html>
