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

如果您是中国用户，您可以使用此软件包：https://github.com/LKI/chinese-calendar

import datetime

# 判断 2018年4月30号 是不是节假日
from chinese_calendar import is_holiday, is_workday
april_last = datetime.date(2018, 4, 30)
assert is_workday(april_last) is False
assert is_holiday(april_last) is True

# 或者在判断的同时，获取节日名
import chinese_calendar as calendar  # 也可以这样 import
on_holiday, holiday_name = calendar.get_holiday_detail(april_last)
assert on_holiday is True
assert holiday_name == calendar.Holiday.labour_day.value

# 还能判断法定节假日是不是调休
import chinese_calendar
assert chinese_calendar.is_in_lieu(datetime.date(2006, 2, 1)) is False
assert chinese_calendar.is_in_lieu(datetime.date(2006, 2, 2)) is True

如果日期是datetime对象，这是一个解决方案。

import datetime
def dow(date):
    days=["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"]
    dayNumber=date.weekday()
    print days[dayNumber]

如果您有理由避免使用datetime模块，那么此函数将起作用。

注：从儒略历到公历的变化被认为发生在1582年。如果您感兴趣的日历并非如此，那么如果年份>1582，则相应地更改行。

def dow(year,month,day):
    """ day of week, Sunday = 1, Saturday = 7
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeller%27s_congruence """
    m, q = month, day
    if m == 1:
        m = 13
        year -= 1
    elif m == 2:
        m = 14
        year -= 1
    K = year % 100    
    J = year // 100
    f = (q + int(13*(m + 1)/5.0) + K + int(K/4.0))
    fg = f + int(J/4.0) - 2 * J
    fj = f + 5 - J
    if year > 1582:
        h = fg % 7
    else:
        h = fj % 7
    if h == 0:
        h = 7
    return h

使用Canlendar模块

import calendar
a=calendar.weekday(year,month,day)
days=["MONDAY","TUESDAY","WEDNESDAY","THURSDAY","FRIDAY","SATURDAY","SUNDAY"]
print(days[a])

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)]
