Python module for handling Hebrew dates

This module provides classes and functions for handling Hebrew calendar dates and conversions.

It offers four main classes:

• HebrewDate: Represents a specific date in the Hebrew calendar, with support for conversions to/from Gregorian dates, manipulation of dates (e.g., adding or subtracting days, months, or years), and various date-related attributes such as day, month, year, and weekday in the Hebrew calendar.
• HebrewYear: Represents a Hebrew year, managing leap year calculations, month lengths, and determining the first weekday of the year.
• HebrewCalendar: Extends the standard Calendar class to provide Hebrew calendar functionality, including methods for iterating over month days and converting between Hebrew and Gregorian dates.
• HTMLHebrewCalendar: Provides HTML formatting of Hebrew calendar data with support for both Hebrew and Gregorian date display, custom CSS styling, and RTL formatting.

Key Features:

• Conversion between Hebrew and Gregorian dates.
• Computation of weekdays, month lengths, and leap years for Hebrew dates.
• Operations for date arithmetic, such as adding and subtracting days, months, and years.
• Methods for obtaining today's Hebrew date or constructing a Hebrew date from a Gregorian date.
• Calendar iteration and formatting for Hebrew dates in HTML format.
• Right-to-left (RTL) HTML calendar display with optional Gregorian date annotations.
• Customizable CSS styling for calendar presentation.

Note: This module supports accurate conversions for Hebrew dates corresponding to Gregorian dates on or after the year 1752. For earlier dates, calculations may have inaccuracies due to historical and calendar system variations.
