If you have two datetime objects, you can subtract them to get a timedelta.

diff = (datetime.datetime.strptime("29/11/2021", "%d/%m/%Y") - 
        datetime.datetime.strptime("28/11/2021", "%d/%m/%Y"))

You can then convert to days:

diff.total_seconds() / 86400.

Search for the answer yourself first, then ask if you can't find anything.
