Paul Moore <pf_moore at yahoo.co.uk>:
dateutil.adjust(d, day=1) dateutil.adjust(d, day=-1) dateutil.adjust(d, day=1, months=+1, days=-1)
Does this look any better?
Yes, I think it does. At least it avoids giving any spurious impression that there might be an algebra lurking around somewhere.
It might be better to have separate functions for absolute and relative adjustments, e.g.
dateutil.set(d, day=1) dateutil.add(d, months=+1, days=-1)
since the difference between the singular and plural keywords is rather subtle and easy to miss.
