What is "date"? Where does it come from?

If it is your own function, then we cannot help you unless you show us the
code for it.

If you mean the standard library date, then you should say so.


py> from datetime import datetime
py> today = datetime.today()
py> astring = "2014-12-27"
py> another_day = datetime.strptime(astring, "%Y-%m-%d")
py> difference = today - another_day
py> difference.days
65
py> difference.days/7  # weeks
9.285714285714286
