Creating a Calendar using Python 3

Calendar — General calendar-related functions
Source code: Lib/calendar.py

This module allows you to output calendars like the Unix cal program, and provides additional useful functions related to the calendar. By default, these calendars have Monday as the first day of the week, and Sunday as the last (the European convention). Use setfirstweekday() to set the first day of the week to Sunday (6) or to any other weekday. Parameters that specify dates are given as integers. For related functionality, see also the datetime and time modules.

The functions and classes defined in this module use an idealized calendar, the current Gregorian calendar extended indefinitely in both directions. This matches the definition of the “proleptic Gregorian” calendar in Dershowitz and Reingold’s book “Calendrical Calculations”, where it’s the base calendar for all computations. Zero and negative years are interpreted as prescribed by the ISO 8601 standard. Year 0 is 1 BC, year -1 is 2 BC, and so on.

class calendar.TextCalendar(firstweekday=0)
This class can be used to generate plain text calendars.

TextCalendar instances have the following methods:

formatmonth(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0)
Return a month’s calendar in a multi-line string. If w is provided, it specifies the width of the date columns, which are centered. If l is given, it specifies the number of lines that each week will use. Depends on the first weekday as specified in the constructor or set by the setfirstweekday() method.

prmonth(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0)
Print a month’s calendar as returned by formatmonth().

formatyear(theyear, w=2, l=1, c=6, m=3)
Return a m-column calendar for an entire year as a multi-line string. Optional parameters w, l, and c are for date column width, lines per week, and number of spaces between month columns, respectively. Depends on the first weekday as specified in the constructor or set by the setfirstweekday() method. The earliest year for which a calendar can be generated is platform-dependent.

pryear(theyear, w=2, l=1, c=6, m=3)
Print the calendar for an entire year as returned by formatyear().

class calendar.HTMLCalendar(firstweekday=0)
This class can be used to generate HTML calendars.

HTMLCalendar instances have the following methods:

formatmonth(theyear, themonth, withyear=True)
Return a month’s calendar as an HTML table. If withyear is true the year will be included in the header, otherwise just the month name will be used.

formatyear(theyear, width=3)
Return a year’s calendar as an HTML table. width (defaulting to 3) specifies the number of months per row.

formatyearpage(theyear, width=3, css='calendar.css', encoding=None)
Return a year’s calendar as a complete HTML page. width (defaulting to 3) specifies the number of months per row. css is the name for the cascading style sheet to be used. None can be passed if no style sheet should be used. encoding specifies the encoding to be used for the output (defaulting to the system default encoding).
