Another alternative uses rrule

from dateutil.rrule import rrule, WEEKLY, MO
from datetime import date

next_monday = rrule(freq=WEEKLY, dtstart=date.today(), byweekday=MO, count=1)[0]

rrule docs: https://dateutil.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rrule.html

dateutil has a special feature for this kind of operation and it's the most elegant way I have ever seen yet.

from datetime import datetime
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta, MO

first_monday_date = (datetime(2011,7,2) + relativedelta(weekday=MO(0))).date()

if you want datetime just

first_monday_date = datetime(2011,7,2) + relativedelta(weekday=MO(0))

Generally to find any date from day of week from today:

def getDateFromDayOfWeek(dayOfWeek):
    week_days = ["monday", "tuesday", "wednesday",
                 "thursday", "friday", "saturday", "sunday"]
    today = datetime.datetime.today().weekday()
    requiredDay = week_days.index(dayOfWeek)
    if today>requiredDay:
          noOfDays=7-(today-requiredDay)
          print("noDays",noOfDays)
    else:  
          noOfDays = requiredDay-today
          print("noDays",noOfDays)
    requiredDate = datetime.datetime.today()+datetime.timedelta(days=noOfDays)
    return requiredDate

print(getDateFromDayOfWeek('sunday').strftime("%d/%m/%y"))

Gives output in format of Day/Month/Year
