from CnyZodiac import ChineseNewYearZodiac as cnyz

# Default settings (lang='en')
my_cnyz = cnyz()

# Change Language
en_cnyz = cnyz(lang='en')  # English
fr_cnyz = cnyz(lang='fr')  # French
cn_cnyz = cnyz(lang='cn')  # Simplified Chinese Mandarin  (Work In Progress)


# Chinese Zodiac for a given Year
zodiac_2023 = my_cnyz.zodiac(2023)
# output: Rabbit

# Find the Chinese New Year's date for a given year (Integer)
cny_2023 = my_cnyz.chinese_new_year(2023)
# output: datetime.date(2023, 1, 22)

# Given a datetime object find out it's Chinese Zodiac sign
zodiac_date = zodiac_date(datetime.datetime(1998, 7, 15))
# output: Tiger

# Find out what Chinese Zodiac sign is it right now
now_zodiac = my_cnyz.zodiac_now()  # e.g. if command launched on 2023-02-10
# outupt: Rabbit

# For a given datetime object, find out in more detailed informations: New Year this year, and current Chinese Zodiac
cnyz_1968 = my_cnyz.chinese_new_year_zodiac_full_details_date(datetime.datetime(1968, 6, 6, 1, 59, 5))
# output:
# {
#     'Chinese New Year': date(1968, 1, 30),
#     'Zodiac': 'Monkey',
#     'date': datetime(1968, 6, 6, 1, 59, 5),
#     'year': 1968
# }

# Get detailed information for current datetime.now() automatically
cnyz_now = my_cnyz.chinese_new_year_zodiac_full_details_now()
# output (if current datetime is 2023-02-10):
# {
#     'Chinese New Year': date(2023, 1, 22),
#     'Zodiac': 'Rabbit',
#     'date': datetime(2023, 2, 10, 1, 59, 5),
#     'year': 2023
# }

# Get detailed information for next (comming) year, based on datetime.now() automatically
cnyz_now = my_cnyz.chinese_new_year_zodiac_full_details_now()
# output (if current datetime is 2023-07-04):
# {
#     'Chinese New Year': date(2024, 2, 10),
#     'Zodiac': 'Dragon',
#     'year': 2024

TODO (Work In Progress, still in development)

• Add Simplified Chinese in multi lang.
• Optimize code AND find a mathematical full proof way to conteract leap months, so this package can work for ANY given year/date (past of future).
