[Python-ideas] Add a "week" function or attribute to datetime.date

[Steve Barnes]

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 are all sorts of "Calendar" operations one might want -- I think those belong in a separate library, rather than a few tacked on to datetime.

Currently one can do week = d.isocalendar()[1]

The iso definition of a week number has some nice properties.

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"

I like the idea. But how to distinguish it from the number of week past since the beginning of the month ?

But that’s great.

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.
