Find the date for the first Monday after a given a date

Question

Given a particular date, say 2011-07-02, how can I find the date of the next Monday (or any weekday day for that matter) after that date?

Answer 1

Another alternative uses rrule

from dateutil.rrule import rrule, WEEKLY, MO
from datetime import date

next_monday = rrule(freq=WEEKLY, dtstart=date.today(), byweekday=MO, count=1)[0]
