Thanks for pointing out. tm[6] = weekday, and tm[7] = Julian data, but
I wouldn't know these values when my input values are month and year.

I will try out the more constructive suggestions from Paul and Robert.

Following is what I have tried. As you can tell, the results are wrong!

>>> import time
>>> time.asctime((2003, 9, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0))
'Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 2003'
>>> time.asctime((2003, 8, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0))
'Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 2003'
>>> time.asctime((2003, 7, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0))
'Mon Jul 01 00:00:00 2003'
