Weekday returns day number in format Monday -> 0, Tuesday -> 1 etc. etc., if you want it to start from one, just add 1 to the result.

According to the documentation isoweekday should do the trick

import datetime
dt = datetime.datetime.now() 
dt.isoweekday()

returns 4 on Thursday

You can calculate it normally and add one to the answer:

import datetime
dt = datetime.datetime.now()
print(dt.weekday()+1)

or use the standard (official) method:

import datetime
dt = datetime.datetime.now() 
dt.isoweekday()
