Incrementing ISO date by 5 days

I am working with a date format that looks like this:

2023-04-25T16:00:00+00:00

I want to add 5 days to the current_date and return the same format as above

I tried this:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

today = datetime.now()
iso_date = today.isoformat()
iso_date += timedelta(days=5)

which throws:

TypeError: can only concatenate str(not "datetime.timedelta") to str

>Solution :

The return value of isoformat() is a string. Your timedelta should be added to the Date object, not the string:

today = datetime.now()
today += timedelta(days=5)
iso_date = today.isoformat()
