Python Datetime: Exercise-48 with Solution

Write a Python program to display a simple, formatted calendar of a given year and month.

Python Code:

import calendar
print('Print a calendar for a year and month:')
month = int(input('Month (mm): '))
year = int(input('Year (yyyy): '))
print('\n')
 
calendar.setfirstweekday(calendar.SUNDAY)
cal = calendar.monthcalendar(year, month)
 
if len(str(month)) == 1:
    month = '0%s' % month
 
# Header
print('|++++++ %s-%s +++++|' % (month, year))
print('|Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa|')
print('|--------------------|')
 
# display calendar
border = '|'
for week in cal:
    line = border

      
    for day in week:
        if day == 0:
      # 3 spaces for blank days       
         line += '   ' 
        elif len(str(day)) == 1:
            line += ' %d ' % day
        else:
         line += '%d ' % day
    # remove space in last column
    line = line[0:len(line) - 1]  
    line += border
    print(line)
 
print('|--------------------|\n')

Sample Output:

Print a calendar for a year and month:
