Python calendar module | itermonthdays2() method

Calendar module allows to output calendars like program, and provides additional useful functions related to the calendar. Functions and classes defined in Calendar module use an idealized calendar, the current Gregorian calendar extended indefinitely in both directions.

itermonthdays2() method is used to get an iterator for the month in the year similar to itermonthdates(). Days returned will simply be day of the month numbers. For the days outside of the specified month, the day number is 0.

Syntax: itermonthdays2(year, month)

Parameter:
year: year of the calendar
month: month of the calendar

Returns: an iterator for the month.

Code #1: Working example of itermonthdays2() method

# Python program to demonstrate working
# of itermonthdates() method

# importing calendar module
import calendar

obj = calendar.Calendar()

# iterating with itermonthdays2
for day in obj.itermonthdays2(2018, 9):
    print(day)

Output:

The starting day number in calendar is : 0
(0, 0)
(0, 1)
(0, 2)
(0, 3)
(0, 4)
(1, 5)
(2, 6)
(3, 0)

obj = calendar.Calendar(firstweekday = 2)

# iterating with parameter itermonthdays2
for day in obj.itermonthdays2(2018, 9):
    print(day)

Output:
