hi, I@m trying to get this to work as a function, in Pyhon 3 - struggling a little here, can anyone help, thanks 🙂


import calendar
c = calendar.TextCalendar(calendar.MONDAY)
c.prmonth(2018, 5)

I'm not sure if this is what you meant exactly, and it could probably be done much better. Basically what I did was import datetime to get the date information, and I called it with a function to print a text calendar of the current month.

Code

import calendar
import datetime # Allows us to get the current date.


def calendar_today(): # Defines a function
    now = datetime.datetime.now() # Stores today's date as a variable
    c = calendar.TextCalendar(calendar.SUNDAY) # Formats the calendar to start with sunday
    month = c.formatmonth(now.year, now.month) # Formats the calendar to this year and month
    print(month) # Prints the calendar stored in the previous variable

calendar_today() # Calls the function

great, thanks - that works fine

now, I'm going try and get it working online with Flask - that could be tricky for me! do you know much about doing that?

I do not, sorry. I'm actually not very good at python, still learning a lot myself. From what I've read, the best idea is to use JavaScript for a calendar in flask.

ok, cheers, I'll see if I can get the calendar up and running on flask for now
