Horst Gutmann picture Horst Gutmann · Apr 8, 2010

datetime.date has a isocalendar() method, which returns a tuple containing the calendar week:

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.date(2010, 6, 16).isocalendar()[1]
24

datetime.date.isocalendar() is an instance-method returning a tuple containing year, weeknumber and weekday in respective order for the given date instance.
