I am using Calendar function in python for the first time this is my code:

import calendar

print ("The calender of year 2018 is : ")
print (calendar.calendar(2018,2,1,6))
print ("The starting day number in calendar is : ",end="")
print (calendar.firstweekday())

I am getting the followng output 

The calender of year 2018 is : 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/AAKASH PATEL/Desktop/calendar.py", line 5, in <module>
    import calendar
  File "C:/Users/AAKASH PATEL/Desktop\calendar.py", line 10, in <module>
    print (calendar.calendar(2018,2,1,6))
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

How can i solve this

You named your script calendar.py, so it is that file that is imported. You can see this in the traceback:

  File "C:/Users/AAKASH PATEL/Desktop/calendar.py", line 5, in <module>
    import calendar
  File "C:/Users/AAKASH PATEL/Desktop\calendar.py", line 10, in <module>
    print (calendar.calendar(2018,2,1,6))

So import calendar imported calendar.py, which now has an attribute calendar, which is your script.

Rename your script to not mask the built-in library; for example, calendar_demo.py would be fine. Once you do, it works perfectly, on my system, it outputs:

The calender of year 2018 is :
                                  2018

                                                    31

The starting day number in calendar is : 0

Note that calendar.calendar(2018) would suffice; the defaults for the next three arguments (w for the column width, l for lines per week, and c for the spacing between month columns) are 2, 1 and 6 respectively.

When copying your code and executing it, it works perfectly fine! But I see that it seems your script, where you have that code is called calendar.py! Python then thinks this is what you want to import! So rename your script to something else!

Rename your script name from calendar.py to calendarScript.py

"C:/Users/AAKASH PATEL/Desktop/calendar.py"

to

"C:/Users/AAKASH PATEL/Desktop/calendarScript.py",

Note: Do not name your script the same name as a module.
