Question

here is a small code

ds = datetime.datetime.now()
de = ds + datetime.timedelta(days=99)
fd = list(rrule(DAILY, byweekday=(SA,SU), dtstart=ds, until=de))
for x in fd:
    print fd[x-1]

it should give me a list of datetime() objects. but it doesn’t. here is the error method i got

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#23>", line 1, in <module>
    int(fd[0])
TypeError: int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'datetime.datetime'

what could be wrong?

Answer 1

You cannot subtract the int 1 from a datetime.datetime object.

x is a item from the list of datetime.datetime objects called fd, not an index.

Where you have:

for x in fd:
    print fd[x-1]

You want:

for x in fd:
    print x

This will give you a list of c. 29 items (depending on when you run it, naturally):
