\constant{WEDNESDAY}, \constant{THURSDAY}, \constant{FRIDAY},
\constant{SATURDAY}, and \constant{SUNDAY} are provided for
convenience. For example, to set the first weekday to Sunday:
\begin{verbatim}
import calendar
calendar.setfirstweekday(calendar.SUNDAY)
\end{verbatim}
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{firstweekday}{}
Returns the current setting for the weekday to start each week.

Return the number of leap years in the range
[\var{year1}\ldots\var{year2}].

Returns a month's calendar in a multi-line string. If \var{w} is
provided, it specifies the width of the date columns, which are
centered. If \var{l} is given, it specifies the number of lines that
each week will use. Depends on the first weekday as set by
\function{setfirstweekday()}.

\begin{funcdesc}{prmonth}{year, month\optional{, width\optional{, length}}}
Prints a month's calendar. If \var{width} is provided, it specifies
the width of the columns that the numbers are centered in. If
\var{length} is given, it specifies the number of lines that each

Returns a 3-column calendar for an entire year as a multi-line string.
Optional parameters \var{w}, \var{l}, and \var{c} are for date column
width, lines per week, and number of spaces between month columns,
