This is a short script I wrote years ago to generate a table in mediawiki. I think I'll keep it here, it's easier to find when moving between computers.

yearTable.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import datetime
import sys

weekday = 3 #3 = Thursday, change it if you will, Monday == 0

def englishMonth(n): #this has to be defined somewhere, but I cannot find it now
    l = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July',
         'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December']
    return l[n]

def genWikiTable(start, end, step):
    print('{| border="1"\n! Date !! Place !! Speaker !! Topic\n')
    d = start
    while d <= end:
        print('|-\n! %s %d\n|\n|\n|'%(englishMonth(d.month-1), d.day))
        d += step
    print('|}\n')

def genYearWikiTable(year):
    s = datetime.date(year, 1, 1)
    while s.weekday() != weekday:
        s += datetime.timedelta(1)
    genWikiTable(s, s + datetime.timedelta(51*7), datetime.timedelta(7))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    if len(sys.argv) > 3:
        print ('usage: python script.py [year [output_file]]\n'+
               '  (Thursdays are hardcoded, sorry for that)')
        exit
    if len(sys.argv) == 3:
        sys.stdout = open(sys.argv[2], 'w')
    elif len(sys.argv) == 1:
        day = datetime.date.today()
        sys.argv.append(day.year + 1 if day.month > 10 else 0)
    genYearWikiTable(sys.argv[1])
