Javascript Calendars for Lazy Webmasters

That was 1996 calling. Apparently they've been looking for that word "webmaster" and would like it back.

I'm just the messenger...

First, most of these are "date pickers" aka "date drop downs" instead of full blown calendars. Second, I need a lot of customization. For example, I want to be able to display a weekly calendar without dates. Or a monthly-style calendar which shows the current and next 3 weeks instead of named months. It needs to be skinnable to match my site as well as provide hooks for high level events like day-clicked. Ideally, I'd like both a server-side Python API for generating calendar HTML and a client Javascript API for manipulating an existing calendar. I know that's a tall order, but I couldn't find anything even close to that.

Rolling my own was difficult and time consuming. Luckily, I only needed prototype quality for now.
