Instead of working with individual dates or month ranges, you create a quarter object (e.g., DateQuarter(2019, 4) for Q4 2019), then add, subtract, compare, or iterate over it. The package handles quarter arithmetic, distance calculations between quarters, membership tests, and range iteration.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and installs as pure Python, making it lightweight. However, it has been abandoned since its initial release in 2020 with no subsequent updates, bug fixes, or maintenance. It remains functional for straightforward quarter operations but carries the risk of incompatibility with future Python versions or edge cases that may not have been discovered or addressed.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need lightweight quarter arithmetic and your project is stable. The package is simple, dependency-free, and works for its stated purpose. However, the abandoned status means no future bug fixes or Python version support\u2014evaluate whether you can maintain a fork or accept the risk of eventual incompatibility. For new projects with long-term support requirements, consider whether a more actively maintained alternative or a custom implementation would be safer."},"id":"datetime-quarter","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/datetime-quarter","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/datetime-quarter.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/datetime-quarter/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-02-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"datetime-quarter","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Simple and lightweight quarter support for python datetime"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":149317,"position":10995,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.3"}
