Let's start with the disappointing information:-
- please read https://docs.python.org/3/library/calendar.html and the
*function's* help:
>>> help(cal.calendar)
Help on method formatyear in module calendar:
formatyear(theyear, w=2, l=1, c=6, m=3) method of calendar.TextCalendar
instance
Returns a year's calendar as a multi-line string.
The word "year" is singular, and the parameters are all to do with the
output-presentation. We can't even request 'the rest of the year from
August onwards'!
There are other helper functions. Also, we are invited to sub-class.
Might it be possible to generate multiple year (or month) groups, split
them by line, and then reassemble line-by-line to produce the width and
temporal length required?
What do you think?
