Get day name from datetime object-CodePudding

I have a dataframe with the following format:

datetime.datetime(2021, 3, 23, 4, 59, tzinfo=tzoffset(None, -25200))

How can I find the day name? I tried .day_name(), but for some reason when you have the zone data that doesn't work.

CodePudding user response：

Try using object.strftime("%A") where object refer to instance of datetime

This will return the day name as in name of days in week

CodePudding user response：

You can use weekday to get a numeric day of the week. You can then use a dictionary to translate that to actual day names. Something like this:

from datetime import datetime
from dateutil.tz import tzoffset

date = datetime(2021, 3, 23, 4, 59, tzinfo=tzoffset(None, -25200))
days = ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun']
print(days[date.weekday()])
