I had some code that used Pythoncard calendar objects, but it's been a 
while since I looked at it.

What I did then was

I think (but haven't tried it out) that it's a wxDateTime, so any of the 
functions listed in the wx Docs could be used - so you could do

    s = date.FormatDate()
to get the "standard representation", or
   s= date.Format(formatstring)
where formatstring takes the same values as stdlib's strftime()

(See also Python datetime documentation which covers strftime options)
