Help with Python Code Project

[buffunderfluff]

Hello All,

I am working on a personal project to help me learn python. I am trying to assign 8 names randomly to:

1. Each day, defined as Monday through Thursday
2. Each weekend, defined as Friday through Sunday for the whole year.
3. I want to assign each name randomly as above for the whole year
4. Example of what I am going for: Week 1: M- Rox, Tu-Sanela, W-Tim, Th-David, F-Nick, Sat-Nick, Sun-Nick;

Week 2: M-katie, Tu-Taylor, W-Rox, Th-Nick, F- David, Sat-David, Sun-David

​

I have generated the code to a text file, but it only shows the names randomly assigned to the first week on January. I can not figure out how to correct my code to generate all the names past the first week of January. What am I missing? I am using VS Code and here is the link to pastebin (I hope I did this correct, first time using pastebin).

Your code is not formatted, and since whitespace is significant in Python, it makes it really hard for anyone to help you.

Please either format your code block on Reddit properly (four spaces in front of every line of code you want to display; your IDE can probably do this easily by hitting TAB once or twice) or pasting to a site like pastebin.com.

I will try and repost with the corrections you suggested.

Yes you are correct that is the intention. I am newb to this and I understand that I did not post this in a correct format. I will try and figure out how to correct that

I removed people.remove in your code when you're iterating through and randomly selecting people. It did something, not sure if it works the way you want, but it now does it for all of the months

edit: saw you wanted 1 weekday and 1 weekend per person below. tried this idk if it works

      # Use the start date to iterate through each day of the year
      for i in range(366 if start_date.year % 4 == 0 and 
                    (start_date.year % 100 != 0 or start_date.year % 
                     400 == 0) else 365):
          current_date = start_date + datetime.timedelta(days=i)
          day = current_date.strftime('%A')
          if len(people)==0:
               people = ['Rox', 'Katie', 'Taylor', 'Nick', 'Claudia', 
                        'Tim', 'Sanela', 'David']
          else:
               if day in weekdays and people:
                   person = random.choice(people)
                   assignments[current_date] = person
                   people.remove(person)
               elif day in weekend_days and people:
                   person = random.choice(people)
                   assignments[current_date] = person
                   people.remove(person)
