r - finding the previous Monday -

-

i'm looking way find date object previous calendar week's monday. example, today 1/15/2016; need build function return '2016-01-04 utc'

the question asks "previous calendar week's monday". assume below means want monday on or before input date.

note better use "date" class since times not needed , "date" class has no time zone avoids potential time zone errors associated "posixt" classes.

there nextfri function in zoo vignette, zoo quickref vignette can use basis of similar function. make these changes (1) ceiling replaced floor, (2) 5 (friday) replaced 1 (monday) , (3) add origin= argument to as.date -- if zoo loaded default origin provided origin= argument optionally omitted.

this function uses base r , vectorized. accepts "date" class vector , returns "date" class vector of dates monday on or before respective input dates.

lastmon <- function(x) 7 * floor(as.numeric(x-1+4)/7) + as.date(1-4, origin="1970-01-01")

for example, 

 > lastmon(as.date(c("2016-01-15", "2016-01-11"))) [1] "2016-01-11" "2016-01-11"

the lastmon function alternately simplified just:

lastmon2 <- function(x) x - as.numeric(x-1+4)%%7

note: see answers here, here, here , here more uses of nextfri or variations thereof.

i'm attempting write python 2/3 compatible routine fetch csv file, decode latin_1 unicode , feed csv.dictreader in robust, scalable manner. for python 2/3 support, i'm using python-future including imporing open builtins , , importing unicode_literals consistent behaviour i'm hoping handle exceptionally large files spilling disk, using tempfile.spooledtemporaryfile i'm using io.textiowrapper handle decoding latin_1 encoding before feeding dictreader this works fine under python 3. the problem textiowrapper expects wrap stream conforms bufferediobase . unfortunately under python 2, although have imported python 3-style open , vanilla python 2 tempfile.spooledtemporaryfile still of course returns python 2 cstringio.stringo , instead of python 3 io.bytesio required textiowrapper . i can think of these possible approaches: wrap python 2 cstringio.stringo python 3-style io.bytesio . i'm not sure how approach - need write such wrapper or 1 ex
