From python2.5 onwards datetime module has datetime.strptime(date_string, format) which you can pass the date_string and format to get a datetime object for doing comparisions. In python2.4, you could use the time module's support of strptime. From the documentation, you should be able to find the week part of your question.

from datetime import datetime
from time import strptime

Now

datetime(*strptime('2011-03-08  0:27:41', '%Y-%m-%d  %H:%M:%S')[0:6]).weekday()

returns the day of the week for the first date "as an integer, where Monday is 0 and Sunday is 6", so selecting those dates for which weekday() in [0, 6] will give you the start and end dates of weeks (or use 4 instead of 6 for work weeks).
