From https://docs.python.org/3/library/calendar.html#calendar.setfirstweekday
calendar.setfirstweekday(weekday)Sets the weekday (0 is Monday, 6 is Sunday) to start each week. The values MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, and SUNDAY are provided for convenience. For example, to set the first weekday to Sunday:
import calendar
calendar.setfirstweekday(calendar.SUNDAY)
