Django date YYYY-MM-DD

I get date in format(YYYY-MM-DD)

Then I want to add timedelta

    mydate + timedelta(days=1)

and I get error 

    coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, datetime.timedelta found
Solution

  • mydate is a string. Try doing this:

    from datetime import datetime
parsed_date = datetime.strptime(mydate, "%Y-%m-%d")

new_date = parsed_date + timedelta(days=1)
