You can use any other attribute of WScript, of course (as well
as any Python built-in function, and any function in modules
you import from Python).

Weekday is a VBScript function, and I don't know whether it's
exported to other languages at all; I think you can't use VBScript
functions from Python any more than you could use Python functions
from VBScript, unless you explicitly build components in one
language that expose whatever functions you need via COM.
