This seems to do the trick for me

  from itertools import izip_longest
  print ('\n'.join(
    "%-24s %s" % (week1, week2)
    for week1, week2
    in izip_longest(
      month(1971, 6).splitlines(),
      month(2017, 6).splitlines(),
      fillvalue='',
      )
    ))

Adjust the "-24" to put your desired amount of padding between the
calendars (needs to be at least 21=3 character-columns per day * 7
days per week).  If you want more than two weeks, you can generalize
it:

  dates = [
    month(1971, 6),
    month(2001, 6),
    month(2017, 6),
    ]

  print ('\n'.join(
    '  '.join(w.ljust(21) for w in weeks)
    for weeks
    in izip_longest(
      *[cal.splitlines() for cal in dates],
      fillvalue=''
      )
    ))

Hope this helps,
