How to check dates basing on year and month in Python

I'd like to check the days for a given month . For an instance, if I input year 2017 and month 2 or February , I would like to receive all dates for that month, in this case 01-28.02.2017.

Is it possible to do in Python? Was trying to find something using google, but unsuccessfully.

Thanks in advance,

Alternative, as Mark suggested in the comments, if you know the month then you can do this yourself.

import calendar

year, month = 2017, 2

def days_in_month(date):
    if calendar.isleap(date.year) and date.month == 2:
        return 29
    else:
        return [None, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, ...][date.month]

date = datetime.date(year=year, month=month)

dates = [datetime.date(year=year, month=month, day=d) for d in range(1, days_in_month(date)+1)]

There is a function for this in the standard library: itermonthdates().

from calendar import Calendar

for date in Calendar().itermonthdates(2017, 2):
    print(date)

You may need to filter the dates with if date.month == 2, because it will contain days from the previous and next months if they belong to the same week.
