[Zope] Retrieving the week number with DateTime

[Gijs Reulen]

There is a standard for calculating weeknumbers. It is in an ISO standard,
but I do not know the number of it. I implemented it in another application
a while back. I got it from the NNI, the Dutch national 'ISO' which follows
the ISO standards on this.

The standard: the first day for calculating is the monday. If four or more
days are in the old year, then the week is the last week of the old year. If
four or more days are in the new year then it is the first week of a new
year.
I concluded from this that the Thursday is crucial: if it in a new year then
it is week 1.
