.. module:: calendar
|
|
:synopsis: Functions for working with calendars, including some emulation of the Unix cal
|
|
program.
|
|
.. 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.
|
|
|
|
Most of these functions and classses rely on the :mod:`datetime` module which
|
|
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])
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 2.5
|
|
|
|
:class:`Calendar` instances have the following methods:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Calendar.iterweekdays(weekday)
|
|
|
|
Return an iterator for the week day numbers that will be used for one week. The
|
|
first number from the iterator will be the same as the number returned by
|
|
:meth:`firstweekday`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Calendar.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:: Calendar.itermonthdays2(year, month)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Calendar.itermonthdays(year, month)
|
|
|
|
Return an iterator for the month *month* in the year *year* similar to
|
|
:meth:`itermonthdates`. Days returned will simply be day numbers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Calendar.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:: Calendar.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:: Calendar.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:: Calendar.yeardatescalendar(year, month[, width])
|
|
|
|
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:: Calendar.yeardays2calendar(year, month[, width])
|
|
|
|
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:: Calendar.yeardayscalendar(year, month[, width])
|
|
|
|
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])
|
|
|
|
This class can be used to generate plain text calendars.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 2.5
|
|
|
|
:class:`TextCalendar` instances have the following methods:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: TextCalendar.formatmonth(theyear, themonth[, w[, l]])
|
|
|
|
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 set by :func:`setfirstweekday`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: TextCalendar.prmonth(theyear, themonth[, w[, l]])
|
|
|
|
Print a month's calendar as returned by :meth:`formatmonth`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: TextCalendar.formatyear(theyear, themonth[, w[, l[, c[, m]]]])
|
|
|
|
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 set by :meth:`setfirstweekday`. The earliest year for which a
|
|
calendar can be generated is platform-dependent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: TextCalendar.pryear(theyear[, w[, l[, c[, m]]]])
|
|
|
|
Print the calendar for an entire year as returned by :meth:`formatyear`.

|
|
|
.. method:: HTMLCalendar.formatmonth(theyear, themonth[, withyear])
|
|
|
|
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:: HTMLCalendar.formatyear(theyear, themonth[, width])

|
|
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:: LocaleTextCalendar([firstweekday[, locale]])
|
|
|
|
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. If

.. data:: month_name
|
|
|
|
An array that represents the months of the year in the current locale. This
