datetime库有时会出现strptime（）错误，所以我切换到dateutil库。下面是一个如何使用它的示例：

from dateutil import parser
parser.parse('January 11, 2010').strftime("%a")

您从中获得的输出是“Mon”。如果希望输出为“星期一”，请使用以下命令：

parser.parse('January 11, 2010').strftime("%A")

这对我很快奏效。我在使用日期时间库时遇到了问题，因为我想存储工作日名称而不是工作日编号，而使用日期时间的格式导致了问题。如果你对此没有问题，那太好了！如果你是这样的话，你可以明确地这样做，因为它的语法也更简单。希望这有帮助。

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)]

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'

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)

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]

以下是如何将小端字符串日期列表转换为datetime：

import datetime, time
ls = ['31/1/2007', '14/2/2017']
for d in ls:    
    dt = datetime.datetime.strptime(d, "%d/%m/%Y")
    print(dt)
    print(dt.strftime("%A"))
