java.time was added to overcome the inconsistency of Calendar.

```python
from java.time import ZoneId
from java.time.temporal import IsoFields

now = system.date.now()

date = now.toInstant().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toLocalDate()

week = date.get(IsoFields.WEEK_OF_WEEK_BASED_YEAR)

print now
print date
print week

```
