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'

我为CodeChef问题解决了这个问题。

import datetime
dt = '21/03/2012'
day, month, year = (int(x) for x in dt.split('/'))    
ans = datetime.date(year, month, day)
print (ans.strftime("%A"))

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]

import datetime
int(datetime.datetime.today().strftime('%w'))+1

这应该会给你一个真实的数字-1=星期天，2=星期一，等等。。。

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

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)
