Python defines an inbuilt module “calendar” which handles operations related to the calendar.
Operations on the calendar : 
1. calendar(year, w, l, c):- This function displays the year, the width of characters, no. of lines per week, and column separations.
2. firstweekday() :- This function returns the first week day number. By default 0 (Monday).
 

Python3




# Python code to demonstrate the working of
# calendar() and firstweeksday()
 
# importing calendar module for calendar operations
import calendar
 
# using calendar to print calendar of year
# prints calendar of 2012
print ("The calendar of year 2012 is : ")
print (calendar.calendar(2012,2,1,6))
 
#using firstweekday() to print starting day number
print ("The starting day number in calendar is : ",end="")
print (calendar.firstweekday())


Output: 
 

The calendar of year 2012 is : 
                                  2012
