Given a Date, calculate the first/last dates for the week. This assumes weeks start on Sunday and end on Saturday (common in the US).

week_range.py

from datetime import timedelta


def week_range(date):
    """Find the first & last day of the week for the given day.
    Assuming weeks start on Sunday and end on Saturday.

    Returns a tuple of ``(start_date, end_date)``.

    # isocalendar calculates the year, week of the year, and day of the week.
    # dow is Mon = 1, Sat = 6, Sun = 7
    year, week, dow = date.isocalendar()

    # Find the first day of the week.
    if dow == 7:

        start_date = date

        start_date = date - timedelta(dow)

    # Now, add 6 for the last day of the week (i.e., count up to Saturday)
