monthdayscalendar() to get list of full weeks of a month with number of day of full 7 days

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

monthdayscalendar() : Returns a list of full weeks having day number .

Note that days are returned as 0 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.monthdayscalendar(2020,7):
	print(x)

Output

[0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
[6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
[13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]
[20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26]
[27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 0, 0]

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

import calendar
my_cal= calendar.Calendar(firstweekday=3)
for x in my_cal.monthdayscalendar(2020,7):
	print(x)

As we are getting a list as output, we can get total number of weeks in a month and number of days in a week. We are using len() here to get number of elements ( items ) .

import calendar
my_cal= calendar.Calendar(firstweekday=0)
y=my_cal.monthdayscalendar(2020,7)
print("Number of weeks",len(y))
print("Number of days in week",len(y[0]))

Output

Number of weeks 5
Number of days in week 7

As we are getting a list of days as tuple for each week , we can display day and week day number like this.

import calendar
my_cal= calendar.Calendar(firstweekday=0)
for x in my_cal.monthdayscalendar(2020,7):
    for y in x:
        print("Day :",y)

Output

Day : 0
Day : 0
Day : 1
Day : 2
Day : 3
Day : 4
Day : 5
Day : 6

Day : 26
Day : 27
Day : 28
Day : 29

Day : 31
Day : 0
Day : 0
