Thanks Mike, I will check that out!
I may have found another solution this afternoon too. Since the user
puts in the week start date I think I might be able to use datedelta
to the week start date so that Tuesday would be the week start date +
deltadate (1), Wednesday would be the week start date + deltadate (2)
and so on. Still need to check if this does what I'm thinking it will
though. I'll check out baklabel too
Now you mention it here is another utility I keep around ...
def when(days=0): """Function to return the current non-naive datetime.""" dd =
datetime.now() + timedelta(days=days) dday = datetime.now(tz=pytz.utc) if days == 0: return dday ttime =
datetime.time(dday) tt = timezone.make_aware(datetime.combine( datetime.fromordinal(dday.toordinal() + days),
ttime), pytz.utc) return tt
What I really meant was ...
def when(days=0):
"""Function to return the current non-naive datetime."""
dd = datetime.now() + timedelta(days=days)
dday = datetime.now(tz=pytz.utc)
if days == 0:
return dday
ttime = datetime.time(dday)
tt = timezone.make_aware(
datetime.combine(
datetime.fromordinal(dday.toordinal() + days),
ttime
),
pytz.utc
)
return tt

Not sure. Have a look at baklabel, a utility I wrote many years
ago and
while I use it every day I haven't looked at it in living memory.
Source
is at https://pypi.org/project/baklabel/#files
It takes a date and returns a string being 'mon', tue' and so on
except
'fri1', 'fri2' etc and it also cares about end-of-month and
end-of-year.
The string is intended as a path fragment for labelling scripted
backups.
The settings/options will allow a much more vanilla return string.
You
could stop it counting fridays and omit end-of-month and end-of-year
detection.
The date arithmetic in there might be useful and extractable as
separate
library.
