This is pretty inefficient but it's conceptually the simplest:

def mondays(year):
    from calendar import weekday, monthrange
    return [('%d/%d/%d'%(month,day,year))
             for month in xrange(1,13)
               for day in xrange(1,1+monthrange(year,month)[1])
                 if weekday(year,month,day) == 0]
