These functions are all available in the time module which is older than datetime:
  >>> import time
  >>> hoy = time.localtime()
  >>> hoy
(2005, 5, 20, 18, 1, 56, 4, 140, 1)
  >>> hoy.tm_wday
4
  >>> time.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
'20050520180243'

Google 'python datetime 2.2' for some alternatives.
