How can I get the current week using Python?

Question

Using Python...

How can I get a list of the days in a specific week?

Something like...

{
\'1\' : [\'01/03/2010\',\'01/04/2010\',\'01/05/2010\

You could use the datetime module. You can specify the format and everything. Here's the link: http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html

Look into datetime.datetime( params ) and datetime.timedelta( params ). Hope it all goes well ;-)

Example:

import datetime

numweeks = 5
start_date = datetime.datetime(year=2010,month=1,day=4)    

weeks = {}

offset = datetime.timedelta(days=0)
for week in range(numweeks):
   this_week = []
   for day in range(7):
        date = start_date + offset
        date = date.strftime( some_format_string )
        this_week.append( date )
        offset += datetime.timedelta(days=1)
   weeks[week] = this_week
