displaying a monthly calendar - colin - 07-10-2018
I came across a Python 3 tutorial for displaying a monthly calendar and it worked a treat from the command-line but for some reason it would not work after i added the Python shebang
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python 3.6.Still cannot work it out why the program didn't work because 'calendar' is not a reserved word?

Python has a module called calendar.py so you can't use the same name for your own script
[EDIT] A list of Python modules can be found here:

Should have thought that it was a module because i did check the Python reserved word list but didn't think of checking Python modules. Big thanks for the help DeepThought it really was appreciated.

No probs
A little tip when writing your own scripts, add my or even your own initials to a script, avoids conflicts with default scripts already in place. So my-calendar.py or in my case dt-calendar.py should be ok

Hello once again DeepThought
I shall definitely take onboard your suggestion using initials on scripts to avoid conflicts.Big thanks
