Or use "%u-1", then you don't need to rotate..

    %u     The day of the week as a decimal,  range  1  to  7,
              Monday being 1.  See also %w. (SU)

p.s. Hmm does python use strptime on systems that have it, or does it
use its own strptime.py or whatever? (don't think it is python to
blame.. it is the OS'es under python whose strptime is used)
