Use Case: Task Scheduling

In task scheduling, we can iterate through weekdays to assign tasks based on the working days:

import calendar
my_cal = calendar.Calendar(firstweekday=0)  # Starting with Monday
for day in my_cal.iterweekdays():
    print("Assign task for day:", day)

Assign task for day: 0
Assign task for day: 1
Assign task for day: 2
Assign task for day: 3
Assign task for day: 4
Assign task for day: 5
Assign task for day: 6

Setting Different Start Days

By changing the first weekday, you can create calendars starting from any day:

my_cal = calendar.Calendar(firstweekday=2)  # Start with Wednesday
for day in my_cal.iterweekdays():
    print(day)
