what have you learned recently?

A shorter way

days, hrs = divmod(hours, day)

Thank you: that's two things I've learned today

This could be extended to weeks for days, months for weeks, and so on.

how many weeks in a month?

how many weeks in a month?

>>> days_per_year = 365.2422
>>> weeks_per_year = days_per_year / 7
>>> weeks_per_year
52.17745714285714
>>> weeks_per_month = weeks_per_year / 12
>>> weeks_per_month
4.348121428571429

how many weeks in a month?

I'd calculate that as 4.333 weeks in a month:~ 91 days = 3 month = 13 weeks.

4.333 * 3 is as close to 13 as makes no odds, but I've yet to work all of that in to my little script, so I'm unsure if it's going to work right now.

To add...

This is as far as I've got, as it's as far as I needed, for the time being:

hours = your_input

day  = 24
week = 7

days, hours = divmod(hours, day)
weeks, days = divmod(days, week)

if weeks:
    output = "Weeks: {}, Days: {}, Hours: {}".format(weeks, days, hours)
elif days:
    output = "Days: {}, Hours: {}".format(days, hours)
else:
    output = "Hours: {}".format(hours)

print(output)

i could add that the Gregorian calendar (not perfect) repeats every 400 years with exactly 20871 weeks (coincidence?), so for usage over the Gregorian calendar, that would be 20871/4800 or about 4.348125 weeks per month. i don't have the scientific figures for the moon and earth but 365.2422 is familiar, though i tend to use 365.2425 for calendar purposes.
