 >>> import datetime

 >>> d = datetime.date.today()
 >>> str(d)
'2008-09-01'
 >>> d.strftime("%d.%m.%Y. %a")
'01.09.2008. Mon'
 >>> # see http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html#l2h-2826
 >>> d.strftime("%d.%m.%Y. %a").lower()
'01.09.2008. mon'
 >>> for i in range(10):
...     print d.strftime("%d.%m.%Y. %a").lower()
...     d += datetime.timedelta(days=1)
...
