Total newbie to Python, so apologies in advance if this is obvious. I have a number of datetime values, for which I would like to identify a year and week number, for example:
start_date = datetime.datetime(2015,1,26,0,0,0)
The catch is, I would like the week to be defined as starting on a Sunday.
I understand that the datetime.isocalendar() can get me week numbers, but they will be calculated under the assumption that weeks start on Mondays. Is there any other way?
Edit: Running Python 2.7.6
Thank you!
String format %U
will give the week of the year counting from Sunday:
t1 = datetime.datetime.now()
t1.strftime("%U")
See http://strftime.org/ for full list of format parameters.
