What advantage do you get with the raised error? The replace() method of dateutil already does something similar, and I'm not trying to mimic it. I'm trying to provide some aditionally useful mechanism. > The allowed argument range for `day` would be between 1 and `n` with > `n` the number of days in the month for positive values and between -1 > and `-n` for negative values. The whole point of being relative is that it acts differently on different dates. What happens when you do date(2004, 1, 31) + relativedelta(months=1) Will it raise an error as well? The current behavior is consistently designed to get useful results, in addition to what datetime provides. -- Gustavo Niemeyer http://niemeyer.net
