import calendar as cal
cal.monthcalendar(2019,3)
[[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10], [11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,
17], [18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24], [25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31]]

I see the first element of the array is
[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3]

where I would have expected
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2]

Which I’m sure is just a question of “defining the start of the week” properly, but if you just took it as-is, Mar 1 would be Thursday, not Friday if you translated literally.
