Python how to iter month with out other months date

I am trying to get all days of november as dates in november:

import calendar

calen = calendar.Calendar()        
calen_iter = calen.itermonthdates(2017,11)

for c in calen_iter: 
    print (c)

I am getting the following output:

2017-10-30
2017-10-31
2017-11-01
2017-11-02
2017-11-03
<snipped lots of correct output>
2017-11-28
2017-11-29
2017-11-30
2017-12-01
2017-12-02
2017-12-03

I dont want these dates - why do they appear?

2017-10-30
2017-10-31
2017-12-01
2017-12-02
2017-12-03

This is by design, see help(calen.itermonthdays) (emphasis mine):

itermonthdates(year, month) method of calendar.Calendar instance

Return an iterator for one month. The iterator will yield datetime.date values and will always iterate through complete weeks, so it will yield dates outside the specified month.

Add a condition to filter out days from other months:

for c in calen_iter: 
    if c.month == 11:
        print(c)

Or more compactly using a list comprehension:

days_of_november = [d for d in calen.itermonthdates(2017, 11) if d.month == 11]
