Getting the Day of the Week in Python
To get the current day of the week, use the weekday property. It returns numbers from 0 to 6, where the week starts on Monday and this day has the number 0. Tuesday is day number 1, Wednesday is number 2, and so on.
Let's output the day of the week on which the date '2025-12-31' falls:
res = datetime.date(2025, 12, 31)
print(res.weekday()) # 2
Since numbering the days of the week starting with 0 can sometimes be inconvenient, you can use the special property isoweekday. It will output the day number when counting Monday from 1:
print(res.weekday()) # 2
print(res.isoweekday()) # 3
Display the current day of the week number on the screen.
Determine whether the current day of the week is a weekend or a working day.
Date date '2026-11-2'. Output its day of the week for two cases - when counting Monday from 0 and when counting from 1.
