Extracting week number from timestamp in Python

Question

I have timestamps in the format

          Sep 12 2019 21:28:11
1         Sep 12 2019 21:28:11
2         Oct 13 2019 21:28:11
3         Oct 14 2019 21:28:11
4         Nov 15 2019 21:28:11

I need to write a python script by which I can get the week number from the date mentioned. Can anyone help me with the same?

Answer 1

Use datetime module.

import datetime
datetime.datetime.strptime("Sep 12 2019 21:28:11", "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S").strftime("%V")

Answer 2

Just another option may be isocalendar function https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.isocalendar

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime("Sep 12 2019 21:28:11", "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S").isocalendar()
