Wouldn't it be better for the setter to raise an exception if it's out of range? It probably indicates a bug in the caller's code. The day before Monday is -1, so it adds a little convenience.

In that case, why doesn't the global function allow the same convenience?

I think we've spent more time discussing the calendar module, than the Python community has spent using it! ;)

It makes a nice change from adaptation and generic functions. :-)
