I am using the below code to get the current date from the system date in python program.
But i also require the day of week for the current date in the same program.
How to get it using date format specifiers?
from datetime import date
print(date.today().strftime("%d"))
Hey,
You are using the correct function strftime() is loaded with a vey huge option list to extract various date and time parts from the date variables. So, in your case, as you used %d to display the count of the day in the month, apparently you can use %A to display the day of week.
In you code you just need to replace %d with %A to get what your are striving for,
from datetime import date
print(date.today().strftime("%A"))Saturday
