Create a standard calendar view from python using matplotlib

mplcal

Create basic printable calendars from Python.

Example:

Create this calendar:

with the code:

from mplcal import MplCalendar
feb = MplCalendar(2017, 2) # 2017, February
feb.add_event(1, '1st day of February')
feb.add_event(5, '         1         2         3         4         5         6')
feb.add_event(5, '123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890')
feb.add_event(18, 'OSLL Field Maintenance Day')
feb.add_event(18, 'OSLL Umpire Mechanics Clinic')
feb.add_event(20, 'Presidents day')
feb.add_event(25, 'OSLL Opening Day')
feb.add_event(28, 'T-Ball Angels vs Dirtbags at OSLL')

feb.add_event(14, 'Valentines Day!')
feb.color_day(14, 'mistyrose')

feb.show()

mplcal's Issues

February 2020 has 29 days.

It looks like February 2020 it generates 29 days somehow.

Add mplcal to pypi

A few arguments for and against.

• Pro: It would be easier for others to find and use mplcal.
• Pro: It would be cool to have a package on pypi, mplcal would be my first.
• Con: mplcal was created just to scratch an itch.
• Con: It probably has bugs; theWasweisich just found a rather obvious bug in the error handling (which is cool, but humbling).
• Con: It requires matplotlib to work. For someone who wants to make a calendar, this is not an obvious requirement.
• Con: I don't know how to add a package to pypi, or maintain & update a pypi package.

This issue is to get a sense of how helpful a pypi package would be.

If you think it would be helpful to add mplcal to pypi please add a "me too" comment on this issue.

If you have other pro or con arguments add them to the issue.

Small bug: month in title off by one

I think mplcal.py line 83 should be m_names[self.month-1].

Handy script!

Feature request: configurable first day of the week

Currently the first day of the week is hardcoded into the module file.

Would be great to have it as a parameter of the class constructor, ex:

from mplcal import MplCalendar
FIRST_DAY = 0
nov = MplCalendar(2023, 11, FIRST_DAY)

or even get it automatically from the locale

Thanks

[Feature Request] allow passing colors to events. for better color coding.

allowing passing colors to days may help in way to interpret holidays or events
also allowing a non-colored background may help when you don't want a color.
