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.

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

suggestions:
- perl
- C
- common lisp
