Nepali Toolkit

Production-ready utilities for working with Nepali language and data:

Features

Bikram Sambat (BS) Calendar

• AD ↔ BS conversion with strict validation
• Flexible formatting tokens (YYYY, MMM, DD, etc.)
• English/Nepali month names, optional Nepali digits (०१२…)
• Timezone-aware today_bs() and now() (default Asia/Kathmandu)

BS Holidays

• List holidays by year/month/tags (e.g., public, festival, school)
• Free-text search (name_en / name_ne / BS / AD)
• next_holiday() and list_holiday_between() helpers
• Data-driven JSON sets; supports merging multiple years

Script Utilities

• Roman ↔ Devanagari transliteration (digits + diacritics)
• Data-backed alphabets (vowels/consonants) with examples
• Barakhari generation (क, का, कि, …) for any base consonant
• Clean import surface: roman_to_dev, dev_to_roman, vowel_alphabet, consonant_alphabet

Gazetteer

• Provinces, zones, districts, and a unified places file (with famous flag & tags)
• Filter by province/zone/district/tags; ranked text search; nearby (Haversine)
• Single query_places() API plus ergonomic wrappers (list_places, nearby_places, list_famous_places)

Units

• Area / Volume / Mass conversions via a single convert(value, from, to) API
• Friendly aliases (e.g., "sq m", "m²", "liter", "L", "kg")
• Category safety (prevents cross-category mistakes)

Treks

• Curated trekking routes with region/province/district metadata
• Filter by difficulty, days, altitude, tags, permits, seasons
• Text search, nearby-by-start, and lightweight suggestions

Design Principles

• Pure Python, JSON datasets, predictable APIs
• i18n-first (EN/NE), developer ergonomics, strong validation
• Modular structure with clean __init__ exports for friendly imports

Requires Python ≥ 3.9

Installation

pip install nepali-toolkit
