How to get date of first day of week (Sunday) on given date on that week in Python 3?

Sunday is first day the week.

E.g. Today is Saturday, 9th of Feb 2019. I want the date of first day of that week which is 3rd of Feb 2019. How can I do that in Python 3?

Also if today is 7th Feb 2019 which is Thursday, and the first of day of that week is also 3rd Feb 2019.

How can I do that in Python 3?

Thank you

You will want to use the datetime module.

This will yield start of the week:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

day = '09/Feb/2019'
dt = datetime.strptime(day, '%d/%b/%Y')
start = dt - timedelta(days=dt.weekday()+1)

print(start.strftime('%d/%b/%Y'))

Answer above modified from this answer on a similar question. The datetime module is your friend!
