How to increment date in python?

Question

Python

I am using the datetime library in python. And I need to clear some files on a certain day of the week. I solved this problem by calculating the delta and incrementing the day of the week. But this method does not work due to the fact that the month and year are not updated. Tell me the best way to make a timer

def get_delta(self):
        c1 = datetime.datetime.today()
        now_time = datetime.date(c1.year, c1.month, c1.day)
        wipe = datetime.date(self.date_to_wipe[0],self.day_wipe,self.date_to_wipe[2])
        delta = wipe - now_time
        return delta
    def run(self):
        while 1:

            delta = self.get_delta()
            if delta.days <= 0:
                self.thread_lock.acquire(1)
                self.kill_dedicated_server()
                self.remove_files()
                self.open_dedicated_server()
                self.day_wipe += 7
                self.thread_lock.release()
            else:
                print(self.name_wipe + ' : '+ delta)
            time.sleep(self.sleep_time)

How to increment date in python?

use time delta

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

some_date = datetime(year=2018, month=10, day=30)
delta_some_date = some_date + timedelta(days=5)
print(delta_some_date)

Output :
2018-11-04 00:00:00
