Diving right into python.

This summer i am undertaking quite a big project, which, hopefully you will hear all about. A very small part of the project is to get the current day of the week. I decided to code it in python. After a few hours of self teaching i began coding. A bit of research on the net and many many failed attempts at syntax later:

#!/usr/bin/python

# Filename : date-to-day.py

import datetime

from datetime import date

now = datetime.datetime.now()

year = now.year

month = now.month

day = now.day

dayofweek = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saterday', 'Sunday']

daytoday = dayofweek[date.weekday(date(year,month,day))]

print daytoday

As i couldn't find a solution for this i thought i would post mine here. =]

Python is actually very good.
