计算最后一个周五的日期

Python的 datetime 模块中有工具函数和类可以帮助你执行这样的计算。 下面是对类似这样的问题的一个通用解决方案：

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

weekdays = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday',
            'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday']


def get_previous_byday(dayname, start_date=None):
    if start_date is None:
        start_date = datetime.today()
    day_num = start_date.weekday()
    day_num_target = weekdays.index(dayname)
    days_ago = (7 + day_num - day_num_target) % 7
    if days_ago == 0:
        days_ago = 7
    target_date = start_date - timedelta(days=days_ago)
    return target_date
在交互式解释器中使用如下：

>>> datetime.today() # For reference
datetime.datetime(2012, 8, 28, 22, 4, 30, 263076)
>>> get_previous_byday('Monday')
datetime.datetime(2012, 8, 27, 22, 3, 57, 29045)
>>> get_previous_byday('Tuesday') # Previous week, not today
datetime.datetime(2012, 8, 21, 22, 4, 12, 629771)
>>> get_previous_byday('Friday')
datetime.datetime(2012, 8, 24, 22, 5, 9, 911393)
>>>
可选的 start_date 参数可以由另外一个 datetime 实例来提供。比如：

>>> get_previous_byday('Sunday', datetime(2012, 12, 21))
datetime.datetime(2012, 12, 16, 0, 0)
>>>
