Get Last Day of the Month in Python

Question

Is there a way using Python's standard library to easily determine (i.e. one function call) the last day of a given month?

If the standard library doesn't support that, does the dateutil package support this?

Answer 1

You can simply use the monthrange methods from python's calendar. This method will return a tuple with first element as start of the month and second element as the end of the month. So to get the last day of the month.

module.calendar.monthrange(year, month)[1]
