Explanation
At first, calculate first day in month (from this answer: How floor a date to the first date of that month?):
df = pd.DataFrame(pd.date_range(' 1/ 1/ 2000', periods = 100, freq ='D'), columns=['Date'])
df['MonthFirstDay'] = df['Date'] - pd.to_timedelta(df['Date'].dt.day - 1, unit='d')
df
Date MonthFirstDay
0 2000-01-01 2000-01-01
1 2000-01-02 2000-01-01
2 2000-01-03 2000-01-01
3 2000-01-04 2000-01-01
4 2000-01-05 2000-01-01
.. ... ...
95 2000-04-05 2000-04-01
96 2000-04-06 2000-04-01
97 2000-04-07 2000-04-01
98 2000-04-08 2000-04-01
99 2000-04-09 2000-04-01

Obtain weekday from first day:
df['FirstWeekday'] = df['MonthFirstDay'].dt.weekday
df

1 2000-01-02 2000-01-01 5

Now I can calculate with modulo of weekdays to obtain the week number in a month:
- Get day of the month by
df['Date'].dt.day
and make sure that begins with 0 due to modulo calculation df['Date'].dt.day-1
.
- Add weekday number to make sure which day of month starts
+ df['FirstWeekday']
- Be safe to use the integer division of 7 days in a week and add 1 to start week number in month from 1
// 7 + 1
.
Whole modulo calculation:
df['WeekInMonth'] = (df['Date'].dt.day-1 + df['FirstWeekday']) // 7 + 1
df
Date MonthFirstDay FirstWeekday WeekInMonth
0 2000-01-01 2000-01-01 5 1
1 2000-01-02 2000-01-01 5 1
