tran was short for "translation table." It's also the name of a keyword
I implemented in an interpreter over 35 years ago.
Of course, Mark has pointed out that equivalent functionality is already

i = 1
print calendar.day_name[i]
day_name isn't a list or tuple, but it behaves enough like one for this
purpose.
