Stack Overflow Asked by umbe1987 on November 1, 2020
I’d like to create a list of dates each of which represents the starting date of ISO week N of year 2020.
Something like:
weeks2020 = [date(2020, 1, 1), date(2020, 1, 6), date(2020, 1, 13), ...]
I have obtained something similar using timedelta(weeks=1)
, and adding this to my START_DATE
(date(2020, 1, 1)
), but the dates I obtain are not correct.
I know I could simply change my START_DATE
to be date(2019, 12, 30)
, but I would like to know if there is a more robust approach to derive all the week starting dates present in a given year.
Just for the sake of clarity, here is what i am doing now:
from datetime import date, timedelta
START_DATE = date(2020, 1, 1)
INTERVAL = timedelta(weeks=1)
STEPS = 54
prev_date = START_DATE
for i in range(1, STEPS):
print(prev_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')) # step 1: 2020-01-01, step 2: 2020-01-08, ...
prev_date += INTERVAL
For the first interval, find the weekday of the starting date and subtract this from a full week. After the first step, set the interval back to one week.
START_DATE = date(2020, 1, 1)
INTERVAL = timedelta(weeks=1) - timedelta(days=START_DATE.weekday())
cur_date = START_DATE
while cur_date.year == START_DATE.year:
print(cur_date.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))
cur_date += INTERVAL
INTERVAL = timedelta(weeks=1)

If you can use pandas, maybe something like this should be feasible-
import pandas as pd
di = pd.to_datetime(pd.date_range(start='2020-1-1', end='2020-12-31', freq='D'))
# check for either monday or start of the month
weekstart = di[(di.weekday == 0) | ((di.day == 1) & (di.weekday != 6)]
Output
DatetimeIndex(['2020-01-01', '2020-01-06', '2020-01-13', '2020-01-20',
'2020-01-27', '2020-02-01', '2020-02-03', '2020-02-10',

'2020-07-13', '2020-07-20', '2020-07-27', '2020-08-01',
'2020-08-03', '2020-08-10', '2020-08-17', '2020-08-24',

Trying to answer myself.
I don't know if this is the best solution, but it seems to work fine for my aim:
from datetime import date, timedelta
START_DATE = date(2020, 1, 1)
INTERVAL = timedelta(days=1)
STEPS = 366
iso_week = 0
weeks_2020 = []
curr_date = START_DATE
for d in range (STEPS):
if not curr_date.isocalendar()[1] == iso_week:
iso_week = curr_date.isocalendar()[1]
weeks_2020.append(curr_date)
curr_date += INTERVAL
