Calendar Display

Welcome to the Calendar Display page.

This page contains a brief description and implementation instructions for the project.

Project Description

Uses Python’s built-in calendar module to display calendars. The program can print the calendar for a given month and year or an entire year. It can be run as a script or via the command line (e.g. python -m calendar 2023 4).

Project Requirements

Python 3.x (calendar module, which is built-in).

How to Run the Project

1. In a Python script (e.g. show_calendar.py), import calendar and use calendar.month(year, month) or calendar.calendar(year) to print to the console.

2. Run it: python show_calendar.py. Alternatively, use the command-line interface:

3. Month: python -m calendar 2023 4.

4. Year: python -m calendar 2023.

Key Concepts Learned

• Modules: Using the calendar module to access calendar functions.
• Function Calls: calendar.month(year, month) to get formatted month string.
• Command-Line Tools: Understanding the -m switch for Python modules.
• Input Handling: Parsing year/month input from the user (if interactive).

Possible Extensions

• Prompt the user to enter month and year at runtime.
• Highlight current date or holidays.
• Create a GUI date picker or interactive calendar.
• Format calendar differently (e.g. add colors using ANSI codes in terminal).
