Re: Getting last Friday’s date

You can call Python into a CLLE from Richard Schoen's QSHoni.

$ python
Python 3.10.12 (main, Jun 11 2023, 05:26:28) [GCC 11.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

from datetime import date, timedelta
friday = 4
today = date.today()
delta = today.weekday() - friday
last_friday = today - timedelta((7 if delta < 0 else 0) + delta)
print(last_friday)

2023-07-28

today = date(2023, 8, 4)
delta = today.weekday() - friday
last_friday = today - timedelta((7 if delta < 0 else 0) + delta)
print(last_friday)

2023-08-04

today = date(2023, 8, 7)
delta = today.weekday() - friday
last_friday = today - timedelta((7 if delta < 0 else 0) + delta)
print(last_friday)

2023-08-04
