Calendar: day/month names in specific locale

Question

I am playing with Python\'s calendar module that\'s in the standard library. Basically I need a list of all days of a month, like so:

>>> import cal         


        

Answer 1

Ha! Found an easy way to get localized day/month names:

>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE')
'de_DE'
>>> import calendar
>>> calendar.month_name[10]
'Oktober'
>>> calendar.day_name[1]
'Dienstag'
