Answer 1

Or you can define a function to get the last month, and then print the months ( it's a bit rudimentary)

def last_month(year_month):#format YYYY-MM
    aux = year_month.split('-')
    m = int(aux[1])
    y = int(aux[0])

    if m-1 == 0:
        return str(y-1)+"-12"
    else:
        return str(y)+"-"+str(m-1)

def print_last_month(ran, year_month= str(datetime.datetime.today().year)+'-'+str(datetime.datetime.today().month)):
    i = 1 
    if ran != 10:
        print( last_month(year_month) )
        print_last_month(i+1, year_month= last_month(year_month))
