Get Day name from Weekday int

Question

I have a weekday integer (0,1,2...) and I need to get the day name (\'Monday\', \'Tuesday\',...).

Is there a built in Python function or way of doing this?

If you need just to print the day name from datetime object you can use like this:

current_date = datetime.now
current_date.strftime('%A')  # will return "Wednesday"
current_date.strftime('%a')  # will return "Wed"
