Usage

Import the htmlCalendar module into your Python script and create a new instance of the MonthlyCalendar class:
import htmlCalendar
myCal = htmlCalendar.MonthlyCalendar()              # view current month
If you don't want to view the current month, you can set year and month like this:
myCal = htmlCalendar.MonthlyCalendar(2004, 12)      # view December 2004
myCal = htmlCalendar.MonthlyCalendar(2004)          # view January 2004
myCal = htmlCalendar.MonthlyCalendar(month = 12)    # view December of current year
You can also set year and month by using the according properties:
myCal = htmlCalendar.MonthlyCalendar()
myCal.year = 2004
myCal.month = 12
Since version 2.10, it is also possible to view only a certain week of the selected month:
myCal = htmlCalendar.MonthlyCalendar()
myCal.year = 2009
myCal.month = 11
myCal.week = 45
NOTE: I'm using my own functions to calculate the dates. Thus the calendar range is from year 1 to year 3999 and not affected by any Python or operating system restrictions. Also note that this script applies both, the Gregorian and the Julian calendar, so it can be used to view historically correct dates.

Adapt the configuration to your needs:
myCal.tFontFace = "Comic Sans MS"               # change font face for title (month)
myCal.hFontSize = 3                             # change font size for heading (weekdays)
myCal.dFontColor = "#808080"                    # change font color for days
myCal.offset = 2                                # start week with Monday
myCal.link = "path/to/my/page.py"               # set page to link to when day is clicked
...
Use the function viewEvent to add events to the calendar. It takes the following arguments:
viewEvent(start day, end day, color, title, [link])
Example:
# view seminar "How to use HTML-Calendar" from 6th to 8th with color #E0E0FF
myCal.viewEvent(6, 8, "#E0E0FF", "Seminar "How to use HTML-Calendar"")

# view Peter's birthday on 7th with color #A0B0C0
myCal.viewEvent(7, 7, "#A0B0C0", "Peter's birthday")

# view trip to Hawaii from 15th to 19th with color #D0FFD0 and link
myCal.viewEvent(15, 19, "#D0FFD0", "Trip to Hawaii!", "/trips/hawaii/index.py")
The function viewEventEach can be used to view events on specific weekdays. It takes the following arguments:
viewEventEach(weekday, color, title, [link])
The argument weekday must be a number between 0 (Saturday) and 6 (Friday). Example:
# view text "I hate Mondays!" on each Monday with color #FFFFA0
myCal.viewEventEach(2, "#FFFFA0", "I hate Mondays!")
It is possible to add two or more events within the same time period. In this case, the color and link settings of the event that has been added last will be used.

Finally create the calendar:
print myCal.create()
