calendar.py

Write a program that takes a date as input and outputs the date's season in the southern hemisphere. Your program must take as input from the user a string that represents the month and an integer to represent the day. For example, month = 'April' and day = 15.

The dates for each season in the southern hemisphere are:

• Autumn: March 20 - June 20
• Winter: June 21 - September 21
• Spring: September 22 - December 20
• Summer: December 21 - March 19

You may assume that the variables month and day already exist and will always have valid values. Your program should be able to handle all possible values for the month and day variables. Hint: Not all months require their days to be checked.

$ python calendar.py
Please enter the month: December
Please enter the day: 25
December 25 is summer in the southern hemisphere
