Is there a Python function to determine which quarter of the year a date is in?

Question

Sure I could write this myself, but before I go reinventing the wheel is there a function that already does this?

Answer 1

For those, who are looking for financial year quarter data, using pandas,

import datetime
import pandas as pd
today_date = datetime.date.today()
quarter = pd.PeriodIndex(today_date, freq='Q-MAR').strftime('Q%q')

reference: pandas period index
