The mxdatetime library is full of clever routines to do things with dates, 
among them getting values for things like "Next Friday". 

They are at http://www.lemburg.com/files/python/mxDateTime.html
 
To quote from the web site:
"The package provides three data structures for working with date and time 
values. These are: 

DateTime for referring to absolute date/time values, 
DateTimeDelta for date/time spans and 
RelativeDateTime for representing variable date/time spans (these are the 
TABs of date/time calculation)"

I think that's what you wanted, in any case.
