Calmarendian Date

What is It?

npm_calmarendian_date is a Python package that provides a CalmarendianDate class for the Calendar of Lorelei in the same way the Python Standard Library provides a date class for the Gregorian Calendar.

The Calendar of Lorelei

The planet of Calmarendi takes, from the perspective of an observer from Earth, seven years to orbit its star. The Calendar of Lorelei, which divides this orbital period into seven seasons of fifty weeks of seven days (plus a few days added on to keep everything lined up) is what Calmarendians use to keep track of time.

Installation

Binary installers for the latest released version are available at the Python Package Index (PyPI).

We strongly recommend installing our packages in a virtual environment rather than cluttering up your system's Python installation with all this junk.

pip install npm-calmarendian-date

Do not install any versions prior to 0.3.0; they are broken. If you already have an earlier version installed, upgrade using:

pip install --upgrade npm-calmarendian-date

Usage

This simple example:

from npm_calmarendian_date import CalmarendianDate

d = CalmarendianDate.from_date_string('777-7-07-7')

Full documentation awaited.
