Calendate

Calendate is a simple python package to work with calendars and dates.

How to use Calendate

Calendate work with two different classes, Date and Calendar. The Calendar class will use Date objects to work with.

This is how to create a Date and a Calendar object

from calendate import *

my_date = Date('2022', '10', '07')
my_calendar = Calendar()

You can change the my_date object using the method set_date() and passing the new year, month, and day values. To check if the my_date object is a valid date use the is_date_valid() function, it will return True if the date is valid, and False if it isn't

my_date = Date('2022', '10', '07')
my_calendar = Calendar()

print(is_date_valid(my_date))

You can check if the year of the my_date object is a leap year using the is_leap() function, return True if is leap, and False if it isn't

my_date = Date('2022', '10', '07')
my_calendar = Calendar()

print(is_leap(my_date))
