If you need to get the number of days in a month in Python, you can do that quite quickly.
We are going to do that using the
calendar module.
First, import the
calendar module and then
call the method
monthrange() which returns
the first_day and also the
number_of_days in a month.
Let us see this in action:
import calendar
# Get current month
_, number_of_days = calendar.monthrange(2023, 2)
print(number_of_days) # 28
We can use this method to even check whether a year is a leap year or not:
import calendar
# Get current month
year = 2023
while True:
_, number_of_days = calendar.monthrange(year, 2)
if number_of_days == 29:
print("February has 29 days in {}".format(year))
break
year += 1
That’s basically it.
I hope you find this useful.
