| 55 Calender Display Names | |
| 56 ====================== | |
| 57 | |
| 58 The `Locale`_ class provides access to many locale display names related to | |
| 59 calendar display, such as the names of week days or months. | |
| 60 | |
| 61 These display names are of course used for date formatting, but can also be | |
| 62 used, for example, to show a list of months to the user in their preferred | |
| 63 language:: | |
| 64 | |
| 65 >>> locale = Locale('es') | |
| 66 >>> month_names = locale.months['format']['wide'].items() | |
| 67 >>> month_names.sort() | |
| 68 >>> for idx, name in month_names: | |
| 69 ... print name | |
