Has anyone a script that will check for the last friday of the month

I'm using the following. In crontab:
45 15 * * 5 root /root/monthly-date-check.py &&
/usr/sbin/amdump monthly
And then in /root/monthly-date-check.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# we use this with Amanda to see if it's the last friday and saturday of
the month, for
# running monthly backups
