Printing list of dates starting today

[Luka Djigas]

Hello everyone,

please, I need your help. I'm new to python, so I don't know if this
will seem like a stupid question to some of you ...
I have a need to write to a file (or just print on screen, that part
doesn't matter at this point) a list of dates, starting today. For
example:
02.09.2008. tue
03.09.2008. wed
et cetera

Is there some intristic function in python which can help me with this
or do I have to do the calendar calculation by hand ?

Would appreciate all the help I can get.

Regards
Luka Djigas

.... print d.strftime("%d.%m.%Y. %a").lower()
.... d += datetime.timedelta(days=1)
....
01.09.2008. mon
02.09.2008. tue
03.09.2008. wed
04.09.2008. thu
05.09.2008. fri
06.09.2008. sat
07.09.2008. sun
08.09.2008. mon
09.09.2008. tue
10.09.2008. wed

There are several ways to do it. Have a look at the documentation
of modules time and datetime. For this exact problem time is the
most straighforward one.
