itermonthdates() to get an iterator of all dates of the month including week days of previous and next month.

`month`	Month number for which dates are required
`year`	Year number for which dates are required

itermonthdates() : Returns an Iterator having date object of the month including week dates of previous and next month.

Note that dates are returned for the days of the week starting from Previous month and for days of the week extended up to next month.

import calendar
my_cal= calendar.Calendar()
for x in my_cal.itermonthdates(2020,7):
	print(x)

Output

2020-06-29
2020-06-30
2020-07-01
2020-07-02
2020-07-03

By updating the first day of the week we can get different elements of the iterator.

import calendar
my_cal= calendar.Calendar(firstweekday=5)
for x in my_cal.itermonthdates(2020,7):
	print(x)

Output

2020-06-27
2020-06-28
2020-06-29
2020-06-30
2020-07-01
2020-07-02

We can use the object to display year , month and day

import calendar
my_cal= calendar.Calendar()
for x in my_cal.itermonthdates(2020,7):
	print("Year:",x.year,", Month:",x.month,", Day :",x.day)

Output

Year: 2020 , Month: 6 , Day : 29
Year: 2020 , Month: 6 , Day : 30
Year: 2020 , Month: 7 , Day : 1
Year: 2020 , Month: 7 , Day : 2
Year: 2020 , Month: 7 , Day : 3
