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

using dictionaries, you can pull this off by

def get_quarter(month):
    quarter_dictionary = {
        "Q1" : [1,2,3],
        "Q2" : [4,5,6],
        "Q3" : [7,8,9],
        "Q4" : [10,11,12]
    }

    for key,values in quarter_dictionary.items():
        for value in values:
            if value == month:
                return key

print(get_quarter(3))
