Calendars are very easy to use in Python<\/a>. Calendars are used in many applications like inventory management<\/a> systems in which you have to go back and forth between different dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at an example of how to print the January month Calendar in Python.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

import calendar\ncalen = calendar.TextCalendar(calendar.SUNDAY)\nstr = calen.formatmonth(2020,1)\nprint(str)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The output will be.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
calen = calendar.TextCalendar(calendar.SUNDAY)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The calendar.SUNDAY will set the format of the calendar. As you can see above that the calendar starts with Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
str = calen.formatmonth(2020,1)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Here \u201c2020\u201d is the year and \u201c1\u201d is the month<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Printing Calendar in HTML<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Developers usually need a calendar in HTML format to make changes in the look and feel. So let\u2019s see how to print the calendar in HTML format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import calendar\ncalen = calendar.HTMLCalendar(calendar.SUNDAY)\nstr = calen.formatmonth(2020,1)\nprint(str)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
calen = calendar.HTMLCalendar(calendar.SUNDAY)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The only thing that changed in the code is the above line in which we first used TextCalendar and now using HTMLCalender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loop over the Month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes we need to loop over the month days. For that purpose Let\u2019s take a look at the how-to loop over the month of January 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import calendar\ncalen = calendar.TextCalendar(calendar.SUNDAY)\nfor i in calen.itermonthdays(2020,1):\nprint(i)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using loop we can also print the month name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import calendar\nfor i in calendar.month_name:\nprint(i)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s print the day names using a loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import calendar\nfor i in calendar.day_name:\nprint(i)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
