Example: Customizing Calendar Layout

We can adjust the width of date columns, number of months per row, and spacing using optional parameters −

import calendar

# Generate calendar with custom formatting
custom_calendar = calendar.calendar(2025, w=3, l=1, c=10, m=4)

print(custom_calendar)

Following is an excerpt of the customized calendar output −

Example: Calendar with Increased Line Spacing

By modifying the l parameter, we can increase the number of lines per week for better readability −

import calendar

# Generate calendar with increased line spacing
spaced_calendar = calendar.calendar(2025, l=2)

print(spaced_calendar)

Following is an excerpt of the spaced calendar output −

Example: Compact Calendar with Fewer Columns

Reducing the m parameter to 2 allows displaying only two months per row, making the calendar more compact −

import calendar

# Generate a more compact calendar layout
compact_calendar = calendar.calendar(2025, m=2)

print(compact_calendar)

Following is an excerpt of the compact calendar output −
