I think it would be nice to have dicts like

weekdays = {0:'Monday', ...}
isoweekdays = {1:'Monday', ...}
months = {1:'January', ...}

in the datetime module. IMO they are rather usefull.

The calendar module already has something similar;
calendar.day_name, calendar.day_abbr,
calendar.month_name, calendar.month_abbr.

If you think there is still something missing, it
would be better to add it there.

Yeah, use the calendar module.
