Supported locale (locale –a):
students@ubuntu-1gb-nyc2-01:~$ locale -a
C , C.UTF-8, en_AG, en_AG.utf8, en_AU.utf8, en_BW.utf8, en_CA.utf8, en_DK.utf8,
en_GB.utf8, en_HK.utf8, en_IE.utf8, en_IN, en_IN.utf8, en_NG, en_NG.utf8, en_NZ.utf8

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Import the calendar module
import calendar
# Create a LocaleTextCalendar object with the locale set to 'en_AU.utf8' (Australian English)
cal = calendar.LocaleTextCalendar(locale='en_AU.utf8')
# Print the calendar for September 2025 in Australian English locale
print(cal.prmonth(2025, 9))

Output:

September 2025                                        
Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su

15 16 17 18 19 20 21                                     
22 23 24 25 26 27 28

 None  
 

Explanation:

In the exercise above,

  • The code imports the "calendar" module.
  • It creates a "LocaleTextCalendar object" named 'cal' with the locale set to 'en_AU.utf8', representing Australian English.
  • It prints the calendar for September 2025 using the "prmonth()" method of the 'LocaleTextCalendar' object. This method generates a formatted calendar for a specific month and year. Since the locale is set to Australian English, the output will be in accordance with Australian English conventions.
