Question

I\'m wondering if there is a quick and easy way to output ordinals given a number in python.

For example, given the number 1, I\'d like to output

Answer 1

I made a function that seems to work in this case. Just pass in a date object, and it will use the day to figure out the suffix. Hope it helps

from datetime import date
def get_day_ordinal(d):

    sDay = '%dth'
    if d.day <= 10 or d.day >= 21:
        sDay = '%dst' if d.day % 10 == 1 else sDay
        sDay = '%dnd' if d.day % 10 == 2 else sDay
        sDay = '%drd' if d.day % 10 == 3 else sDay

    return sDay % d.day

d = date.today()
print get_day_ordinal(d)
