all Python 3calendarfunction

calendar.month()

printing calendars

Returns a calendar of one month as a multi-line string, like TextCalendar.formatmonth().

Syntax

calendar.month(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0)

The function returns a string; prmonth() is the one that prints. The first weekday comes from the global setfirstweekday(), the names from the process locale (English until locale.setlocale is called). On 3.11 and early 3.12 month(2024, 13) failed with IndexError, in newer versions with IllegalMonthError; except ValueError catches only the latter, so validate the month beforehand.

Examples

import calendar
text = calendar.month(2024, 2)
print(text.splitlines()[1])  # → Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su
print(text.splitlines()[-1])  # → 26 27 28 29
