|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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(firstweekday=0)
|
|
|
|
Creates a :class:`Calendar` object. *firstweekday* is an integer specifying the
|
|
first day of the week. :const:`MONDAY` is ``0`` (the default), :const:`SUNDAY` is ``6``.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
.. method:: iterweekdays()
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: itermonthdates(year, month)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: itermonthdays(year, month)
|
|
|
|
Return an iterator for the month *month* in the year *year* similar to
|
|
:meth:`itermonthdates`, but not restricted by the :class:`datetime.date`
|
|
range. Days returned will simply be day of the month numbers. For the
|
|
days outside of the specified month, the day number is ``0``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: itermonthdays2(year, month)
|
|
|
|
Return an iterator for the month *month* in the year *year* similar to
|
|
:meth:`itermonthdates`, but not restricted by the :class:`datetime.date`
|
|
range. Days returned will be tuples consisting of a day of the month
|
|
number and a week day number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: itermonthdays3(year, month)
|
|
|
|
Return an iterator for the month *month* in the year *year* similar to
|
|
:meth:`itermonthdates`, but not restricted by the :class:`datetime.date`
|
|
range. Days returned will be tuples consisting of a year, a month and a day
|
|
of the month numbers.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.7
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: itermonthdays4(year, month)
|
|
|
|
Return an iterator for the month *month* in the year *year* similar to
|
|
:meth:`itermonthdates`, but not restricted by the :class:`datetime.date`
|
|
range. Days returned will be tuples consisting of a year, a month, a day
|
|
of the month, and a day of the week numbers.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.7
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: monthdatescalendar(year, month)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: monthdays2calendar(year, month)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: monthdayscalendar(year, month)
|
|
|
|
Return a list of the weeks in the month *month* of the *year* as full
|
|
weeks. Weeks are lists of seven day numbers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: yeardatescalendar(year, width=3)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: yeardays2calendar(year, width=3)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: yeardayscalendar(year, width=3)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. class:: TextCalendar(firstweekday=0)
|
|
|
|
This class can be used to generate plain text calendars.
|
|
|
|
:class:`TextCalendar` instances have the following methods:
|
|
|
|
.. method:: 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
|
|
:meth:`setfirstweekday` method.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: prmonth(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0)
|
|
|
|
Print a month's calendar as returned by :meth:`formatmonth`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: 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
|
|
:meth:`setfirstweekday` method. The earliest year for which a calendar
|
|
can be generated is platform-dependent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: pryear(theyear, w=2, l=1, c=6, m=3)
|
|
|
|
Print the calendar for an entire year as returned by :meth:`formatyear`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. class:: HTMLCalendar(firstweekday=0)
|
|
|
|
This class can be used to generate HTML calendars.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:class:`!HTMLCalendar` instances have the following methods:
|
|
|
|
.. method:: 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: formatyear(theyear, width=3)
|
|
|
|
Return a year's calendar as an HTML table. *width* (defaulting to 3)
|
|
specifies the number of months per row.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: 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. :const:`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).
|
|
|
|
|
|
:class:`!HTMLCalendar` has the following attributes you can override to
|
|
customize the CSS classes used by the calendar:
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: cssclasses
|
|
|
|
A list of CSS classes used for each weekday. The default class list is::
|
|
|
|
cssclasses = ["mon", "tue", "wed", "thu", "fri", "sat", "sun"]
|
|
|
|
more styles can be added for each day::
|
|
|
|
cssclasses = ["mon text-bold", "tue", "wed", "thu", "fri", "sat", "sun red"]
|
|
|
|
Note that the length of this list must be seven items.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: cssclass_noday
|
|
|
|
The CSS class for a weekday occurring in the previous or coming month.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.7
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: cssclasses_weekday_head
|
|
|
|
A list of CSS classes used for weekday names in the header row.
|
|
The default is the same as :attr:`cssclasses`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.7
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: cssclass_month_head
|
|
|
|
The month's head CSS class (used by :meth:`formatmonthname`).
|
|
The default value is ``"month"``.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.7
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: cssclass_month
|
|
|
|
The CSS class for the whole month's table (used by :meth:`formatmonth`).
|
|
The default value is ``"month"``.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.7
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: cssclass_year
|
|
|
|
The CSS class for the whole year's table of tables (used by
|
|
:meth:`formatyear`). The default value is ``"year"``.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.7
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: cssclass_year_head
|
|
|
|
The CSS class for the table head for the whole year (used by
|
|
:meth:`formatyear`). The default value is ``"year"``.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.7
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that although the naming for the above described class attributes is
|
|
singular (e.g. ``cssclass_month`` ``cssclass_noday``), one can replace the
|
|
single CSS class with a space separated list of CSS classes, for example::
|
|
|
|
"text-bold text-red"
|
|
|
|
Here is an example how :class:`!HTMLCalendar` can be customized::
|
|
|
|
class CustomHTMLCal(calendar.HTMLCalendar):
|
|
cssclasses = [style + " text-nowrap" for style in
|
|
calendar.HTMLCalendar.cssclasses]
|
|
cssclass_month_head = "text-center month-head"
|
|
cssclass_month = "text-center month"
|
|
cssclass_year = "text-italic lead"
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. class:: LocaleTextCalendar(firstweekday=0, locale=None)
|
|
|
|
This subclass of :class:`TextCalendar` can be passed a locale name in the
|
|
constructor and will return month and weekday names in the specified locale.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. class:: LocaleHTMLCalendar(firstweekday=0, locale=None)
|
|
|
|
This subclass of :class:`HTMLCalendar` can be passed a locale name in the
|
|
constructor and will return month and weekday names in the specified
|
|
locale.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The constructor, :meth:`formatweekday` and :meth:`formatmonthname` methods
|
|
of these two classes temporarily change the ``LC_TIME`` locale to the given
|
|
*locale*. Because the current locale is a process-wide setting, they are
|
|
not thread-safe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|

*month* (``1``--``12``), *day* (``1``--``31``).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: weekheader(n)
|
|
|
|
Return a header containing abbreviated weekday names. *n* specifies the width in
|

|
|
specified *year* and *month*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: monthcalendar(year, month)

|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: prmonth(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0)
|
|
|
|
Prints a month's calendar as returned by :func:`month`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: month(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0)
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|
Prints the calendar for an entire year as returned by :func:`calendar`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: calendar(year, w=2, l=1, c=6, m=3)

.. function:: timegm(tuple)
|
|
|
|
An unrelated but handy function that takes a time tuple such as returned by
|
|
the :func:`~time.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.
|

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
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. data:: MONDAY
|
|
TUESDAY
|
|
