Session Goal: The session aimed to develop Python scripts for generating and formatting date ranges with localization in Spanish, focusing on handling weekdays and month names.

Key Activities:

• Created Python functions to generate formatted text for time periods, considering different month scenarios.
• Implemented a function to generate datetimes for specific weekdays (Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays).
• Developed code to use Spanish month and weekday names in the strftime function, setting the locale accordingly.
• Addressed a ValueError in the generate_datetimes() function, ensuring correct date formatting and resolving issues with invalid end dates.
• Finalized a Python script to generate time periods with weekdays in Spanish, including abbreviations and handling date ranges across months.

Achievements:

• Successfully created and tested Python scripts for date localization in Spanish, enhancing the ability to format dates and times in a culturally relevant manner.

Pending Tasks:

• Further testing and validation of the scripts in different environments to ensure robustness and accuracy.
