I've got it, thanks to both Alan Gauld and Lloyd Kvam:

I found this function in the calendar module:

===================== calendar( year[, w[, l[c]]])

Returns a 3-column calendar for an entire year as a multi-line string. Optional parameters w, l, and c are for date column width, lines per week, and number of spaces between month columns, respectively. Depends on the first weekday as set by setfirstweekday(). The earliest year for which a calendar can be generated is platform-dependent. New in version 2.0.

So, """ import calendar

calendar.setfirstweekday(6) #sets first day of week to Sunday inp = calendar.calendar(2005)

outp = file("c2005.txt","w")

for line in inp: outp.write(line)

outp.close()

print "Year 2005 calendar created as c2005.txt" """

Thank you, tutors!
