Adding one day at a time from a starting date

Question

Can someone show me a few lines of code on how to add one day to datetime?

Like if you had some initial date:

start_date = datetime.date(1847, 3, 30)

and simply wanted to change it to (1847, 3, 31)

and then (1847, 4, 1)

and so on.

I'm new to Python and just trying to wrap my head around this import.
