Greetings list, In the calendar module, i find it terribly unintuitive to have a calendar.month but not a calendar.year, the default being calendar.calendar Suggestion: replace calendar.calendar by calendar.year Yours, Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer pythonmembers.club <http://www.pythonmembers.club/> | github <https://github.com/Abdur-rahmaanJ> Mauritius

Replacing it would break backward compatibility. But adding a year function as an alias for calendar wouldn’t. And you could note in the docs that year is preferred for new code, or even deprecate the old name over a few versions if it seems worth it. What about prcal (as opposed to pryear) vs. prmonth?

+1 on the idea of adding a `calendar.year()` alias, that would make sense. I don't think there would be a need to immediately deprecate `calendar.calendar()` though. If we did consider deprecating it at some point, the removal would have to be incredibly far out considering that it's been around for quite a while and is likely one of the most widely used functions in the calendar module. Regarding `calendar.pryear()`, I think we should wait to see how widely used `calendar.year()` ends up being in comparison to `calendar.calendar()` before considering the addition of a second similar alias.

An alternate solution -- remove calendar.month to not confuse your. --
IDK that a DeprecationWarning would be helpful or necessary? https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/02519f75d15b063914a11351da30178ca4ceb... : ```python monthcalendar = c.monthdayscalendar prweek = c.prweek week = c.formatweek weekheader = c.formatweekheader prmonth = c.prmonth month = c.formatmonth calendar = c.formatyear prcal = c.pryear ``` year = c.formatyear pryear = c.pryear On Thursday, November 28, 2019, Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka@gmail.com> wrote:
