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

如果你想用英语约会：

from datetime import datetime
datetime.today().strftime('%A')
'Wednesday'

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

如果你想用英语约会：

from datetime import date
import calendar
my_date = date.today()
calendar.day_name[my_date.weekday()]  #'Wednesday'

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
