'1367-02-14'

# Custom date formatting
>>> JalaliDate(1395, 3, 1).strftime("%Y/%m/%d")
'1395/03/01'

# Custom datetime formatting
>>> JalaliDateTime(1369, 7, 1, 14, 0, 10, 0, pytz.utc).strftime("%c")
'Yekshanbeh 01 Mehr 1369 14:00:10'

Digits and Character Conversion

>>> from persiantools import characters, digits

# Convert English digits to Persian

'۰۹۸۷۶۵۴۳۲۱'

# Convert Persian digits to English
>>> digits.fa_to_en("۰۹۸۷۶۵۴۳۲۱")
'0987654321'

# Convert numbers to Persian words

'نه میلیون و پانصد و دوازده هزار و بیست و شش'

>>> digits.to_word(15.007)
'پانزده و هفت هزارم'

# Convert Arabic to Persian characters

False

>>> JalaliDate(1367, 2, 14) == datetime.date(1988, 5, 4)
True

>>> JalaliDate(1395, 2, 14) + datetime.timedelta(days=38)
JalaliDate(1395, 3, 21, Jomeh)

>>> JalaliDateTime(1395, 12, 30) - JalaliDateTime(1395, 1, 1)
datetime.timedelta(365)

Serializing and Deserializing

# Deserialize from a file
>>> with open("save.p", "rb") as file:
>>>     jalali = pickle.load(file)
>>> jalali
JalaliDate(1367, 2, 14, Chaharshanbeh)
