python - How to get day name from datetime

Question

How can I get the day name (such as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) from a datetime object in Python?

So, for example, datetime(2019, 9, 6, 11, 33, 0) should give me "Friday".

Answer 1

import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
print(now.strftime("%A"))

See the Python docs for datetime.now, datetime.strftime and more on strftime.
