17], [18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24], [25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31]]

I see the first element of the array is
[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3]

where I would have expected
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2]

Which I’m sure is just a question of “defining the start of the week” properly, 
but if you just took it as-is, Mar 1 would be Thursday, not Friday if you 
translated literally.

My understanding is - a week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. So that looks correct.  Below I use a max function but I wonder if I should use a min function too.  Recall I am looking for the string of the dates for the week.

Here is my code:
import datetime
import calendar


#get the weeks of a month to get the dates to display
tday = datetime.datetime(2020,03,01)

weeksInMonth =calendar.monthcalendar(tday.year, tday.month)
lastdayof1stweek = weeksInMonth[0][6]
firstweek = tday.strftime("%m-%d_%Y")+ " - "+ datetime.datetime(tday.year, tday.month, lastdayof1stweek).strftime("%m-%d-%Y")
print firstweek
for i in range(len(weeksInMonth)):
    if i == 0:
        continue
    firstday = weeksInMonth[i][0]
    lastday =  max(weeksInMonth[i])
    weekstr = datetime.datetime(tday.year, tday.month, firstday).strftime("%m-%d-%Y") + ' - ' + datetime.datetime(tday.year, tday.month, lastday).strftime("%m-%d-%Y")
    print weekstr

def max(arr):
    max_ = arr[0]
    for item in arr:
        if item > max_:
            max_ = item
    return max_
