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

Here is a verbose, but also readable solution that will work for datetime and date instances

def get_quarter(date):
    for months, quarter in [
        ([1, 2, 3], 1),
        ([4, 5, 6], 2),
        ([7, 8, 9], 3),
        ([10, 11, 12], 4)
    ]:
        if date.month in months:
            return quarter
