PS If you are trying to shove this somewhere into a file and execute it as a python program, especially in an environment that does not support POSIX, then here is the code:

import calendar,datetime

today=datetime.datetime.today()
calend = calendar.TextCalendar()
calend.prmonth(today.year, today.month)
