By reading the Fine Manual.

http://docs.python.org/library/calendar.html#calendar.day_name

which is so short that I can copy it here:

calendar.day_abbr
     An array that represents the abbreviated days of the week in
     the current locale.


Like other arrays, lists, tuples etc., you use it by getting the
item at position n:

py> import calendar
py> calendar.day_name[1]
'Tuesday'
