kalendar 0.1.1

Datetime extensions for dekadal data

kalendar: datetime.date extension for climate date measurements

In climatology, data is often reported in multi-day formats, such as dekads (a 10 day definition) or pentads (a 5 day definition). kalendar is a Python package with datetime.date extensions for dekadal and pentadal calendar definitions that make it easier to work with such climate data.

Installing

Install and update using pip:

pip install kalendar

Usage

The dekadal and pentadal classes are simple subclasses with convenient constructors for creating the class from datetime objects (and inherited constructors from datetime.date), methods for addition and subtraction, and converting back to datetime.date objects.

from kalendar import Dekad, Pentad
d = Dekad(2022, 1)
p = Pentad(2013, 51)

See the documentation for full examples.
