I want to find out the following:
given a date (datetime
object), what is the corresponding day of the week.
For instance Sunday is the first day, Monday: second day.. and so on
And then if the input is something like today's date.
Example
>>> today = datetime.datetime(2017, 10, 20)
>>> today.get_weekday() # what I look for
The output is maybe 6
(since its Friday)
This is a solution if the date is a datetime object.
here is how to convert a listof dates to date
Using Canlendar Module
Use
weekday()
(docs):From the documentation:
Use
date.weekday()
ordate.isoweekday()
.A solution whithout imports for dates after 1700/1/1
