How to subtract the DayOfWeek from date from a integer?

[bowlofred]

Are you looking to change the date by an integral number of days? Then create a timedelta object and add or subtract that.

>>> datetime.datetime.now().date()
datetime.date(2020, 5, 27)
>>> datetime.datetime.now().date() + datetime.timedelta(4)
datetime.date(2020, 5, 31)
>>> datetime.datetime.now().date() + datetime.timedelta(-873)
datetime.date(2018, 1, 5)
