Add a "week" function or attribute to datetime.date
Hi, datetime.date.today() (or other day) has attributes .year and .month wich return the year and the month of that date, also it has a function weekday() wich return the number of the day in the week. I think it is a good idea add a function or attribute "week" wich return the number of the week on the year. It is useful to execute scripts once a week for example.
The week number is usually refered to the week of the year, but the week of the month is also interesting, for example for some holiday which depend on the week number of the month, so in analogy with "weekday" we can use "yearweek" and "monthweek" El vie., 1 de marzo de 2019 9:33, Adrien Ricocotam <ricocotam@gmail.com> escribió:

If anybody is looking for such components then wx.DateTime (https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/datetime_overview.html) it is derived from wxDateTime (https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.1/classwx_date_time.html) and should support all of its methods including things like DST changes, etc., supported dates from about 4714 B.C. to some 480 million years in the future.

There has got to be a stand alone python library for that! Anyone know the status of the venerable mxDateTime? -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
