:mod:`calendar` --- General calendar-related functions
======================================================
.. module:: calendar
:synopsis: Functions for working with calendars, including some emulation
of the Unix cal program.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. sectionauthor:: Drew Csillag <drew_csillag@geocities.com>
This module allows you to output calendars like the Unix :program:`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 :func:`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 :mod:`datetime` and :mod:`time` modules.

2010-06-27 19:32:30 -03:00
Most of these functions and classes rely on the :mod:`datetime` module which
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
uses an idealized calendar, the current Gregorian calendar indefinitely extended
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.
.. class:: Calendar(firstweekday=0)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Creates a :class:`Calendar` object. *firstweekday* is an integer specifying the
first day of the week. ``0`` is Monday (the default), ``6`` is Sunday.
A :class:`Calendar` object provides several methods that can be used for
preparing the calendar data for formatting. This class doesn't do any formatting
itself. This is the job of subclasses.
:class:`Calendar` instances have the following methods:
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: iterweekdays()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return an iterator for the week day numbers that will be used for one
week. The first value from the iterator will be the same as the value of
the :attr:`firstweekday` property.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: itermonthdates(year, month)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return an iterator for the month *month* (1-12) in the year *year*. This
iterator will return all days (as :class:`datetime.date` objects) for the
month and all days before the start of the month or after the end of the
month that are required to get a complete week.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: itermonthdays2(year, month)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return an iterator for the month *month* in the year *year* similar to
:meth:`itermonthdates`. Days returned will be tuples consisting of a day
number and a week day number.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: itermonthdays(year, month)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return an iterator for the month *month* in the year *year* similar to
:meth:`itermonthdates`. Days returned will simply be day numbers.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: monthdatescalendar(year, month)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return a list of the weeks in the month *month* of the *year* as full
weeks. Weeks are lists of seven :class:`datetime.date` objects.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: monthdays2calendar(year, month)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return a list of the weeks in the month *month* of the *year* as full
weeks. Weeks are lists of seven tuples of day numbers and weekday
numbers.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: monthdayscalendar(year, month)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return a list of the weeks in the month *month* of the *year* as full
weeks. Weeks are lists of seven day numbers.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: yeardatescalendar(year, width=3)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return the data for the specified year ready for formatting. The return
value is a list of month rows. Each month row contains up to *width*
months (defaulting to 3). Each month contains between 4 and 6 weeks and
each week contains 1--7 days. Days are :class:`datetime.date` objects.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: yeardays2calendar(year, width=3)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return the data for the specified year ready for formatting (similar to
:meth:`yeardatescalendar`). Entries in the week lists are tuples of day
numbers and weekday numbers. Day numbers outside this month are zero.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: yeardayscalendar(year, width=3)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return the data for the specified year ready for formatting (similar to
:meth:`yeardatescalendar`). Entries in the week lists are day numbers. Day
numbers outside this month are zero.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. class:: TextCalendar(firstweekday=0)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
This class can be used to generate plain text calendars.
:class:`TextCalendar` instances have the following methods:
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: formatmonth(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
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
:meth:`setfirstweekday` method.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: prmonth(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00

2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
For simple text calendars this module provides the following functions.
.. function:: setfirstweekday(weekday)
Sets the weekday (``0`` is Monday, ``6`` is Sunday) to start each week. The
values :const:`MONDAY`, :const:`TUESDAY`, :const:`WEDNESDAY`, :const:`THURSDAY`,
:const:`FRIDAY`, :const:`SATURDAY`, and :const:`SUNDAY` are provided for
convenience. For example, to set the first weekday to Sunday::
import calendar
calendar.setfirstweekday(calendar.SUNDAY)
.. function:: firstweekday()
Returns the current setting for the weekday to start each week.
.. function:: isleap(year)
Returns :const:`True` if *year* is a leap year, otherwise :const:`False`.
.. function:: leapdays(y1, y2)
Returns the number of leap years in the range from *y1* to *y2* (exclusive),
where *y1* and *y2* are years.
This function works for ranges spanning a century change.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. function:: weekday(year, month, day)
Returns the day of the week (``0`` is Monday) for *year* (``1970``--...),
*month* (``1``--``12``), *day* (``1``--``31``).
.. function:: weekheader(n)
Return a header containing abbreviated weekday names. *n* specifies the width in
characters for one weekday.
.. function:: monthrange(year, month)
Returns weekday of first day of the month and number of days in month, for the
specified *year* and *month*.
.. function:: monthcalendar(year, month)
Returns a matrix representing a month's calendar. Each row represents a week;
days outside of the month a represented by zeros. Each week begins with Monday
unless set by :func:`setfirstweekday`.
.. function:: prmonth(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Prints a month's calendar as returned by :func:`month`.
.. function:: month(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Returns a month's calendar in a multi-line string using the :meth:`formatmonth`
of the :class:`TextCalendar` class.
.. function:: prcal(year, w=0, l=0, c=6, m=3)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Prints the calendar for an entire year as returned by :func:`calendar`.
.. function:: calendar(year, w=2, l=1, c=6, m=3)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Returns a 3-column calendar for an entire year as a multi-line string using
the :meth:`formatyear` of the :class:`TextCalendar` class.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. function:: timegm(tuple)
An unrelated but handy function that takes a time tuple such as returned by the
:func:`gmtime` function in the :mod:`time` module, and returns the corresponding
Unix timestamp value, assuming an epoch of 1970, and the POSIX encoding. In
fact, :func:`time.gmtime` and :func:`timegm` are each others' inverse.
The :mod:`calendar` module exports the following data attributes:
.. data:: day_name
An array that represents the days of the week in the current locale.
.. data:: day_abbr
An array that represents the abbreviated days of the week in the current locale.
.. data:: month_name
An array that represents the months of the year in the current locale. This
follows normal convention of January being month number 1, so it has a length of
13 and ``month_name[0]`` is the empty string.
.. data:: month_abbr
An array that represents the abbreviated months of the year in the current
locale. This follows normal convention of January being month number 1, so it
has a length of 13 and ``month_abbr[0]`` is the empty string.
