My understanding is - a week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. So
that looks correct. Below I use a max function but I wonder if I should
use a min function too. Recall I am looking for the string of the dates
for the week.
Here is my code:
import datetime
import calendar
#get the weeks of a month to get the dates to display
tday = datetime.datetime(2020,03,01)
weeksInMonth =calendar.monthcalendar(tday.year, tday.month)
lastdayof1stweek = weeksInMonth[0][6]
firstweek = tday.strftime("%m-%d_%Y")+ " - "+
datetime.datetime(tday.year, tday.month,
lastdayof1stweek).strftime("%m-%d-%Y")
print firstweek
for i in range(len(weeksInMonth)):
if i == 0:
continue
firstday = weeksInMonth[i][0]
lastday = max(weeksInMonth[i])
weekstr = datetime.datetime(tday.year, tday.month,
firstday).strftime("%m-%d-%Y") + ' - ' + datetime.datetime(tday.year,
tday.month, lastday).strftime("%m-%d-%Y")
print weekstr

max_ = arr[0]

[Tutor] how to get the weeks of a month
Hi everyone, I'm not exactly a newbie but I can't seem to solve this problem. I need to print out the weeks of the month - given any month and any year. For example this month would have: 3/1/2019 - 3/3/2019 # notice that this a short week 3/4/2019 - 3/10/2019 3/11/2019 - 3/17/2019 3/18/2019 - 3/24/2019 3/25/2019 - 3/31/2019 # also this can be a short week as in April 2019 last week would be 4/29/2019 - 4/30-2019 I have tried using isocalendar, dateutil, and just plain datetime. I get close but no real solution. Google wasn't much help either. So I thought I'd ask here - you have been helpful in the past. And no at my age I am not attending school - so this not my homework.

[Tutor] mixing 64 bit and 32 bit
Hi, At my office we have a mix of XP (32bit) and Window 7 (64 bit). I installed python 64 bit on the windows 7 machines and 32 bit on the XP machines. The question is can the different version run the same code without causing issues. Can the 64 bit use the same byte code as the 32 bit? It seems to be working but I thought best to check.

[Tutor] which gets called
Hi, I want to create a class that inherits two other classes. class NewClass( A,B) But both A and B contain a method with the same name (onKeyDown). If my NewClass does not contain something to override the methods which one would be called if myinstance = NewClass() myinstance.onKeyDown() Second to insure the right one is called is it possible to do the following NewClass(object): def onKeyDown(self, event): b.onKeyDown(event) Johnf ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

The class I'm creating is inheriting from classes I did not create. And of course the inherited classes are from different authors. So I'm attempting to create a wrapper and the problem comes from the keyboard events. Each of the classes has a onKeyDown method and I only want one to work and then pass the data to the second. But you have helped (along with the links). And I have successfully got the right method called. The issue is now getting the second (B) to fire correctly.

When I run it via windows, it's relatively slow and didn't really bother me, but when I ran it at home I got through 15 or so and got a message back from google saying I was exceeding the allowed amount. Or something to that effect. Basically, I was exceeding the 10 per second that's allowed. So, my question is. Why is it running so much faster on linux? Is it the way that linux is handling the socket? Does windows open and close it whereas linux might leave it open and just pump data through? It's not really a problem since I just added sleep time, but I'm curious. Thanks Tony It's a very good question that I'd like to hear the answer too. When ever I run pure python on linux is always runs faster (this has been my experience). I of course have not a clue as to why (or I might not be monitoring this list). But I bet other do know!

Re: [Tutor] Conceptual Question About Use of Python for Employee Training Program
On Saturday, June 25, 2011 06:18:14 am Adam Carr wrote: Good Morning: I am very new to Python but I am enjoying the learning process. I have a question about the application of Python to a problem at the industrial business where I work. My two main questions are: 1. Can Python be used to achieve the goals of the possible project? 2. Where are the best places to look (books, blogs, websites, etc.) for programming examples or modules that would help me begin to assemble and test some code? We currently have a Windows-PC based safety training program that was put together in MS Access around 2001. Access has evolved through several versions since then, as has the Windows OS, and the original author of the database has left the company. Originally designed to be deployed on an employee's desktop, the database is now restricted to two older PCs in the facility that run a version of Access compatible with the original. In short, the program is quickly becoming obsolete. The safety training program is a monthly exercise for all thirty nine employees at our location. The training is mandated by OSHA, and the subject matter is chosen based on the relevance to our processes. The program consists of the following general steps. 1. The employee is prompted to enter his or her employee identity number. 2. A confirmation is generated showing the employee name and other minor details, accessed from a simple list, to be sure the identity number and the person are correctly matched. This requires employee acknowledgment. 3. The employee freely selects a training subject from a list. 4. Once a subject is selected, a PowerPoint (or could be the OpenOffice Presentation) is launched. The training information is in the presentation. The employee can navigate forward or backward through the presentation, or they can exit. 5. Once the presentation is complete, or the employee has started and used ESC to exit from the presentation, they are prompted to take a quiz or exit the training program. 6. The quiz is a simple true-false ten question process based on the material in the training presentation. 7. The employee clicks on their answers to questions, the quiz is completed and scored. The employee must get at least eight of the ten questions correct to pass the topic. 8. Right now the Access version of the program prints the quiz, the employee's answers and the correct answers to the quiz, and the hard copy is signed and left with their supervisor. The printer is the default location set for the machine on which the training and quiz are completed. I think that the only reason the quizzes are printed is because no topic and quiz verification process was written into the program. In other words, an employee can take the time to review a topic, take and pass the associated quiz but if the printed copy is lost there is no way to verify that the employee completed anything. I would like to see a program that can be deployed as originally intended, on individual PCs, that can be more easily maintained and modified than the behemoth Access program we now have. We are running a Windows network with most production floor PCs using the latest version of XP and most individual desktops and laptops using Windows 7. I have the blessing of our network gods to pursue an open source solution because the options for this kind of program, which is tailored to individual locations, are few. The best approach the network folks suggested was a Lotus Notes database, which would work great I'm sure but the development cost is very, very high and each of the company's many manufacturing locations would require a slightly different version of the database. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my long note. I appreciate any help or direction that can be offered. Adam You might want to check out Dabo (www.dabodev.com). It was designed to replace Visual Fox Pro, Access, and Visual Basic desktop programs. Dabo does a very good job with dealing with the GUI and data. That of course assumes you want a desktop app. You could also use Django to create a web app. But if this is your first python project I think I'd go with a desktop app rather than deal with HTML, JavaSript, CSS, and python for the first project.
