hellos, am new to python and programming in general. Am working on a module to deduct amount x from airtime on a simcard, every selected interval (i.e. day, week, month). But also keep track of these transactions for reminders e.g. you have not cleared for 4 days. Am just stuck on how to get started with this. Am looking for the best way to accomplish this. Thanx

Consider using Python's datetime or dateutil module. This will solve your problems with managing date and time. You will have to put the logic for the rest. As already pointed out your question is broad
You can study about datetime module here https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html
dateutil is an extension to datetime and you will have to install it separately.
These are few stackoverflow answers which helped me in getting started with date time."timedelta" from datetime module or "relativedelta" from dateutil module can help you add or subtract time information such as days or hours.
How to increment the day in datetime? Python
add days to a date in Python using loops, ranges, and slicing
Python datatime.time and arithmetic operations
This will give you some insight between difference in 'datetime' and 'dateutil' module. You can select accordingly
