准确获取跨越不同年份的两个日期之间的月数的最佳方法

Question

我需要能够准确地找到两个日期之间的月数，即使它们跨越不同的年份。我有从这个StackOverflow 线程获得的以下解决方案，但它在日期跨越不同年份时失败。

当它跨越一年时有效

from datetime import datetime

from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta

date1 = datetime.strptime('2010-01-01', '%Y-%m-%d')

date2 = datetime.strptime('2010-12-01', '%Y-%m-%d')

diff = relativedelta(date2, date1)

number_of_months = diff.months

print(number_of_months) # 11

当它跨越多年时失败

from datetime import datetime

from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta

date1 = datetime.strptime('2010-01-01', '%Y-%m-%d')

date2 = datetime.strptime('2012-02-01', '%Y-%m-%d')

diff = relativedelta(date2, date1)

number_of_months = diff.months

print(number_of_months) # 1

鉴于此，我考虑了以下解决方案：

from datetime import datetime

from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta

def month_diff(date1, date2):

    if date1.year == date2.year:

        diff = relativedelta(date2, date1)

        number_of_months = diff.months

    else:

        num_of_days = (date2 - date1).days

        number_of_months = num_of_days//30

    print(number_of_months)

date1 = datetime.strptime('2010-01-01', '%Y-%m-%d')

date2 = datetime.strptime('2010-12-01', '%Y-%m-%d')

date3 = datetime.strptime('2010-01-01', '%Y-%m-%d')

date4 = datetime.strptime('2012-02-01', '%Y-%m-%d')

month_diff(date1, date2) # 11

month_diff(date3, date4)  # 25

因此，我的问题是，是否有比我目前拥有的更好的解决方案？
