Is this a school project?

def get_days(month):
    days = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31]
    return days[(month-1) % 12]

I didn't consider a leap year since it wasn't mentioned,

but if you need it:

def get_days(month, leap=False):
    days = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31]
    return days[month-1] if not leap or month != 2 else 29

Will fail when the year is leap – Sivaram Rasathurai Sep 25 '20 at 02:15
@rcvaram True. Added some more stuff for a leap year. – Joonyoung Park Sep 25 '20 at 02:24
Commonly it works, I upvote it – Sivaram Rasathurai Sep 25 '20 at 02:26
what's the point of using modulo in the first example? Can you just do days[month-1]? – Hofbr Sep 25 '20 at 02:37
this will work if you know its a leap year, but it's not just year%4, just FYI – Derek Eden Sep 25 '20 at 02:43
@B.Hoffman You can. It looks like ,for some weird reason, I assumed 13+ could be an input. – Joonyoung Park Sep 25 '20 at 03:42
