python toal newbie

sup

I'm trying to make a simple script in python but I'm bad and I need some enlightenment.

I need to create a folder with the name of the day, I can get that string with "strftime"... but the folder name must contain another date, every Monday to be precise:

example of the folder name: "11-05-2012 to 10-29-2012"

I can't "manipulate" object that came through "strftime" :/
I think it's cuz its a string, right?

I use "os.mkdir" to create the folder, at least I can do that.

$ mkdir `date +%F`

I didn't understand... but I should RTFM.

Thanks anyway!

you should look into learning a real programming language instead, not toy crap.

suggestions:
- perl
- C
- common lisp

Maybe should I but I don’t want to program big stuff, just "toy" script to automate some of my admin task. Nothing too much serious.

You'll be surprised how fast you can create scripts with common lisp.

Don't touch PPP. Pick up:
Unix Shell Programming 9780672324901
Mastering Unix Shell Scripting: 9780470183014
And then read about scheme or CL, with AWK.

You will become an sysadmin/prog/rammer in no time.
