In dateutil, I think it's d + relativedelta(months=+1, day=1, days=-1). Arguably, this is fairly trivial (highly non-obvious, but trivial...) Yes, it'd work, but "d + relativedelta(day=31)" would be enough.

Hmm, I feel vaguely uncomfortable actually relying on the "round down out of range values" behaviour. Presumably day=1000 would also work, and would look even stranger to me :-)

Paul.
