Sorry - - - - 1st response was to only Mr Peter - - - hopefully this is
useful to more than I so here is that to all.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <genexpr>
NameError: name 'cd' is not defined

so 'cd' seems to be a problem.

Tried changing 'cd' to calendar and that gives the desired response.

Except its a neat 3 months wide very very very many rows of calendar.

I'm trying to figure out how to do something like this:

        November 2022                      December 2022

The formatting here is a mess.
The months are centered. The week numbers are consecutive from the
starting date.
The dates are centered under the weekday name. If you've ever used
ncal its like that except
that I can now have up to 7 months wide if the terminal is wide enough
(>180 columns IIRC).
A mentor was working on this in Perl but as he died some couple months
ago its up to me
to make what I want.
Because it seems like there are a lot of disparate things happening
its not very straight
forward trying to replicate and extend my friend's efforts except in
Python. (My friend
preferred to work in Perl rather than Python and I'm wanting to learn
Python. I understand
that this is not perhaps the easiest way to learn something but it
sure is interesting!)
