Doing some searching - - - - sub-class really doesn't have a lot of 'official' info.

Would need to first come up with a way of describing the months (with their attendant week numbers) and then describe a formating system which would then enable a use of 'print' to achieve the desired goal. Is this perhaps a good way of doing this? TIA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
