The isocalendar() function is used to return a tuple of ISO Year, ISO Week Number, and ISO Weekday.

Note:

  • According to ISO standard 8601 and ISO standard 2015, Thursday is the middle day of a week.
  • Therefore, ISO years always start with Monday.
  • ISO year can start as yearly as 29th January or as late as 4th January of a Gregorian calendar.
  • ISO years can have either 52 full weeks or 53 full weeks.
  • ISO years do not have any fractional weeks during the beginning of the year or at the end of the year.

Syntax: isocalendar()

Parameters: This function does not accept any parameter.

Return values: This function returns a tuple of ISO Year, ISO Week Number and ISO Weekday.

Example 1: Using today's dates.

# ISO Week Number and ISO Weekday

# Importing date module from datetime
from datetime import date

# Calling the today() function

# Importing date module from datetime
from datetime import date

# Creating an instance for
# different dates
A = date(2020, 10, 11)

# Calling the isocalendar() function
# over the above specified date
Date = A.isocalendar()

# Printing Original date and its
