Answer 1

This work for me

import datetime
import calendar


def next_month_date(d):
    _year = d.year+(d.month//12)
    _month =  1 if (d.month//12) else d.month + 1
    next_month_len = calendar.monthrange(_year,_month)[1]
    next_month = d
    if d.day > next_month_len:
        next_month = next_month.replace(day=next_month_len)
    next_month = next_month.replace(year=_year, month=_month)
    return next_month

usage:

d = datetime.datetime.today()
print next_month_date(d)
