So far as I'm aware there is no such Calendar widget in the standard
modules, you would need to find a third party module.

I'm really puzzled by that post because there is non Calendar widget
in ttk (or Tix) as of Python 3.4. They are discussing code that
should not work but they seem to have it working. I assume there
is a non standard ttk module out there somewhere?

You probably need to spend some time on that first. Everything
in Python is an object (even strings and numbers and lists etc).
So you really need to get comfortable with the idea of
accessing attributes and methods of objects.

You don't need to worry about creating classes and so on(yet),
but you do need to understand how to use other peoples objects.

Finally, if you are going to ask questions about code its
always good to show us exactly what code you typed as well
as the full error message.
