Help %A in time.strftime(%A)

[jolly]

Hey guys,

I'm following a tutorial on Python and I came across this in one of
the examples.

import time

today = time.localtime(time.time())
theDate = time.strftime("%A %B %d", today)

print today
print theDate


Result:


(2007, 12, 20, 9, 48, 15, 3, 354, 1)
Thursday December 20


can someone explain to me the %A and the %B?

Thanks.
