Quick Python question

Recently, I've had to start writing some Python code. My question is
specific to the datetime object.
Basically, given a date, I need to add years to that date. One way to do
it is:

from datetime import date
d =3D date.today() # initialize d to some date
d =3D date(d.year + 1, d.month, d.day)

In the above case I'm setting a date object d to todays date, then
advancing it to the next year. Is there a more elegant or efficient way
of doing this in Python. The above method certainly works fine except
for February 29th, which is not important.=20
