#timestamp_str1 = 'Jul 31,2018'
#timestamp_str2 = '11/19/2019'
a = input()

if re.match(r'\w*\s\d*,\d*',a):
dt = datetime.strptime(a,'%b %d,%Y')
print(dt.strftime('%A'))

else:
date_str=datetime.strptime(a,"%m/%d/%Y")
print(date_str.strftime('%A'))

Answer 4

Maybe this link helps you:

You will get the full month name like February, so you need %B
I am not sure if you need leading zeros in date or month (01 instead of 1)

Month Day, Year vs. MM/DD/YYYY -> would it not be enough just to check if the input contains a comma or not?
