如果您将日期作为字符串，那么使用panda的时间戳可能更容易

import pandas as pd
df = pd.Timestamp("2019-04-12")
print(df.dayofweek, df.weekday_name)

输出：

4 Friday

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。

一个简单、直接但尚未提及的选项：

import datetime
...
givenDateObj = datetime.date(2017, 10, 20)
weekday      = givenDateObj.isocalendar()[2] # 5
weeknumber   = givenDateObj.isocalendar()[1] # 42

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)]

import datetime
import calendar

day, month, year = map(int, input().split())
my_date = datetime.date(year, month, day)
print(calendar.day_name[my_date.weekday()])

输出示例

08 05 2015
Friday
