Usage

Using functions

# Convert BS Date to AD Date
from pyBSDate import convert_BS_to_AD
ad_date = convert_BS_to_AD(2072, 1, 10)
print(ad_date)

# Convert AD Date to BS

bs_date = convert_AD_to_BS(2015, 4, 23)
print(bs_date)

Class based wrappers

bsdate and addate classes are available for the date conversion. They inherit from the parent datetime.date class and all the functions are similar to datetime.date class.

Following code is the example of using the class based date.

from pyBSDate import bsdate

ne_date = bsdate(2077, 2, 32)
print(ne_date.strftime("%B %d %Y, %A", lang='ne'))       # जेष्ठ ३२ २०७७, आइतबार

en_date = ne_date.addate
print (en_date.strftime("%B %d %Y, %A"))                # June 14 2020, Sunday

Two date objects can also be compared

import datetime
from pyBSDate import bsdate, addate

ne_date = bsdate(2077, 2, 32)
en_date = addate(2010, 1, 12)

if ne_date > en_date:
    print(ne_date.isoformat(lang='ne'))

Addition or substraction of timedelta is also supported

ne_date = ne_date + datetime.timedelta(days=2)

For detailed information, refer to docs.
