Python calendar module : prmonth() method

The calendar module allows the output of calendar-like programs and provides additional useful functions related to the calendar. Functions and classes defined in Calendar module use an idealized calendar, the current Gregorian calendar is extended indefinitely in both directions. class calendar.TextCalendar(firstweekday=0) can be used to generate plain text calendars. prmonth() method is one of the methods of TextCalendar instance. prmonth() method in Python is used to print a month’s calendar as returned by formatmonth().

Syntax: prmonth(year, month, width=0, lines=0) Parameter: year: year of the calendar month: month of the calendar width: [optional] Specifies the width of the date columns, which are centered line: [optional] Specifies the number of lines that each week will use. Returns: Return a month’s calendar.

Code #1: 

Python3

# Python program to demonstrate working of prmonth() method

# importing calendar module
import calendar

text_cal = calendar.TextCalendar(firstweekday = 0)

year = 2018
month = 9

# default value of width is 0

# printing prmonth
print(text_cal.prmonth(year, month))

Output:

   September 2018

                1  2

17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29 30

Code #2: With parameter width 

Python3

# Python program to demonstrate working of prmonth() method

# importing calendar module
import calendar

text_cal = calendar.TextCalendar(firstweekday = 0)


# default value of width is 0

# printing prmonth
print(text_cal.prmonth(2018, 10, w = 5))

Output:

               October 2018
 Mon   Tue   Wed   Thu   Fri   Sat   Sun

   8     9    10    11    12    13    14
  15    16    17    18    19    20    21
  22    23    24    25    26    27    28
  29    30    31
 None

Code #3:

Python3

# Python program to demonstrate working of prmonth() method

# importing calendar module
import calendar

text_cal = calendar.TextCalendar(firstweekday = 0)


# giving value of width = 6, line = 2

# printing prmonth
print(text_cal.prmonth(2018, 10, 6, 2))

Output:

                  October 2018
