Business days

[m-aciek]

Would it make sense to extend the syntax with business days support? It would need to operate in a context of a concrete business days calendar.

iter = croniter('2 4 * * b', base)  # 04:02 on every business day
iter = croniter('0 0 * * b#1,b#2', base)  # 1st business day, and 2nd business day of the month
iter = croniter('0 0 * * b#3,Lb', base)  # 3rd and last business day of the month

The part that would be practical and doesn't have an expression (is it possible to compose it in?) is first/last/n-th business day in a week. Maybe for that we could use a second symbol e.g. bw meaning “business day in a week”?

iter = croniter('2 4 * * bw', base)  # 04:02 on every business day
iter = croniter('0 0 * * bw#1,bw#2', base)  # 1st business day, and 2nd business day of the week
iter = croniter('0 0 * * bw#3,Lbw', base)  # 3rd and last business day of the week
