Gormanian Calendar Calculator/Converter

What is it?

Put simply, it is a library to calculate an alternative date structure based on the comedic sketch of Dave Gorman. In an episode of 'Modern Life is Goodish', Dave Gorman proposed a new calendar format to replace the existing Gregorian calendar. In particular, he takes umbridge at the fact that the length of a month varies, when all other units of time are fixed and identical.

You can watch the video in question here on Dave Gorman's official YouTube channel.

But why?

Why not? I happen to agree with the calendar, and decided to write this for a laugh.

How to Use

To convert the current date

import gormanian

response = gormanian.now()

print(response.as_string)

To convert a specific date

Use the standard datetime format for any given date.

from datetime import datetime
import gormanian

response = gormanian.convert(datetime(2000, 12, 1))

print(response.as_string)

ISO-8601 format:

You can also retrieve the date in ISO-8601 basic format.

from datetime import datetime
import gormanian

response = gormanian.convert(datetime(2000, 12, 31))

print(response.isoformat)
