+Calender Display Names
+======================
+
+The `Locale`_ class provides access to many locale display names related to
+calendar display, such as the names of week days or months.
+
+These display names are of course used for date formatting, but can also be
+used, for example, to show a list of months to the user in their preferred
+language::
+
+ >>> locale = Locale('es')
+ >>> month_names = locale.months['format']['wide'].items()
+ >>> month_names.sort()
+ >>> for idx, name in month_names:
+ ... print name
+ enero
+ febrero
+ marzo
+ abril
+ mayo
+ junio
+ julio
+ agosto
+ septiembre
+ octubre
+ noviembre
+ diciembre
