Как получить последний день месяца?

Если вы не хотите импортировать date-of-birth модуль calendar, простая двухэтапная pythonista функция также может быть:

import datetime

def last_day_of_month(any_day):
    # this will never fail
    # get close to the end of the month for any day, and add 4 days 'over'
    next_month = any_day.replace(day=28) + datetime.timedelta(days=4)
    # subtract the number of remaining 'overage' days to get last day of current month, or said programattically said, the previous day of the first of next month
    return next_month - datetime.timedelta(days=next_month.day)

Выводы:

>>> for month in range(1, 13):
...     print last_day_of_month(datetime.date(2012, month, 1))
...
