The would be 4 weeks instead of one month. I'm not sure how this connects to Python, but I'll assume for now you're trying to do something up as a script and just haven't told us that bit... With periodic recurring charges, it's common for "month" to mean "calendar month", resetting every Nth of the month (often 1st, but any day works). If your mobile data plan costs $35/month and allows you 7GB/month throughput, both those figures will be per calendar month. For the rest, it depends on what the company's doing. Presumably drug prescriptions are primarily done on a weekly basis; car rentals will be on a daily basis. They're not going to say "cars have to be returned by 8AM, except during DST when they must be returned by 9AM", because that's just messy; so one day a year, you get an extra hour, and one day a year, you lose an hour. If you tell us what the code is you're trying to work on, we might be able to advise more usefully. ChrisA
