You need to use the timedelta function in the datetime module:

from datetime import date import datetime a=date.today() issuedate=date(2019,5,9) duedate = issuedate+datetime.timedelta(days=5) check=a-duedate print(check>=datetime.timedelta(days=0))

Use timedelta

from datetime import timedelta

duedate = issuedate + timedelta(days=5) check=(a-duedate).days
