Django weekday catch!
Just a catch in django weekday, its incompalitable with standrad python weekday numbering. You can get weekday in django using Sale.objects.get(sale_date__week_day=2)
or ExtractWeekday
.
date.weekday
considers a weekday from 0 (Monday) to 6 (Sunday)date.isoweekday()
considers a weekday from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday)- Django interprets the integer as 1 (Sunday) to 7 (Saturday)
- MySQL and Oracle are identical to Django’s weekday value - 1 (Sunday) to 7 (Saturday)
- PostgreSQL - 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday)
- SQLite is identical to Python’s isoweekday() representation - 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday)
A sample fuction to get django weekday from date :
def get_django_weekday(date):
return (date.isoweekday() % 7) + 1
