How to calculate the amount of time, to the minute, until next Monday?

I have found this

>>> import datetime
>>> today = datetime.date.today()
>>> today + datetime.timedelta(days=-today.weekday(), weeks=1)
datetime.date(2009, 10, 26)

But this returns the number of days until next Monday - how do I calculate this to the minute? I.e., not all times on Tuesday will return the same amount of minutes until Monday.

You can calculate a timedelta between next monday and today and then print the minutes:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

today = now = datetime.today()
today = datetime(today.year, today.month, today.day)

print (timedelta(days=7-now.weekday()) + today - now).total_seconds()/60

If you use the datetime.datetime.now() method instead of datetime.date.today() you can use what you already have to get the time to next monday in minutes.

Maybe you can use datetime.datetime likes this:

>>> today = datetime.datetime.today()
>>> today+datetime.timedelta(days=-today.weekday(), weeks=1)
datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 23, 0, 12, 2, 643512)

Is it this you are looking for??
