如果您不完全依赖datetime模块，日历可能是更好的选择。例如，这将为您提供日期代码：

calendar.weekday(2017,12,22);

这将给你一天：

days = ["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"]
days[calendar.weekday(2017,12,22)]

或者以python的风格，作为一行：

["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"][calendar.weekday(2017,12,22)]

使用weekday（）：

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.today()
datetime.datetime(2012, 3, 23, 23, 24, 55, 173504)
>>> datetime.datetime.today().weekday()
4

根据文档：

以整数形式返回星期几，其中星期一为0，星期日为6。

假设你得到了日期、月份和年份，你可以做到：

import datetime
DayL = ['Mon','Tues','Wednes','Thurs','Fri','Satur','Sun']
date = DayL[datetime.date(year,month,day).weekday()] + 'day'
#Set day, month, year to your value
#Now, date is set as an actual day, not a number from 0 to 6.

print(date)

这是一个新的方法。星期天是0。

from datetime import datetime
today = datetime(year=2022, month=6, day=17)
print(today.toordinal()%7)  # 5
yesterday = datetime(year=1, month=1, day=1)
print(today.toordinal()%7)  # 1

下面是解决此问题的简单代码片段

import datetime

intDay = datetime.date(year=2000, month=12, day=1).weekday()
days = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]
print(days[intDay])

输出应为：

Friday

如果你想用英语约会：

from datetime import date
import calendar
my_date = date.today()
calendar.day_name[my_date.weekday()]  #'Wednesday'
