Add a specific number of days in a datetime. How to specify the format?

I'm using python and I have a datetime value in the format: 2018-02-20 00:00:00+00:00 and I want to add 10 days in this datetime.

How can I suppose to achieve this?

My current code is the following but it's not working:

sorted_sections_id_timestamp = [datetime.datetime(2018, 2, 20, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>), datetime.datetime(2018, 2, 23, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>)]

for index in range(0,len(sorted_sections_id_timestamp)):
   redo_timestamp = sorted_sections_id_timestamp[index] + datetime.timedelta(day=10)

In case I print (sorted_sections_id_timestamp[index]) I get the value 2018-02-20 00:00:00+00:00.

datetime.timedelta()

should take plural days as argument, instead of singular day. See the documentation.

This results in:

sorted_sections_id_timestamp = [datetime.datetime(2018, 2, 20, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>), datetime.datetime(2018, 2, 23, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>)]

for index in range(0,len(sorted_sections_id_timestamp)):
   redo_timestamp = sorted_sections_id_timestamp[index] + datetime.timedelta(days=10)
