It uses the Umm al-Qura calendar standard, which is the official calendar of Saudi Arabia and is based on astronomical calculations rather than lunar crescent sighting. The package supports dates from 1343 AH (1 August 1924 CE) to 1500 AH (16 November 2077 CE), corresponding to the period covered by official calendar sources.\n\nThe library provides bidirectional conversion: you can convert a Hijri date to Gregorian and vice versa. It includes comprehensive input validation, error handling, multilingual support for Arabic, English, Bengali, and Turkish, and rich comparison and formatting options. The package has zero runtime dependencies, full type annotations, and 100% test coverage, making it straightforward to integrate into applications that need accurate Islamic calendar handling.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has zero dependencies, supports modern Python versions (3.10\u20133.14), carries no known vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively under MIT. Install it if you need reliable Hijri-Gregorian conversion within the supported date range; the main constraint is the 1343\u20131500 AH window and the explicit non-suitability for religious crescent-sighting contexts."},"id":"hijridate","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hijridate","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hijridate.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/hijridate/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-06","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"hijridate","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Accurate Hijri-Gregorian dates converter based on Umm al-Qura calendar"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3064675,"position":2769,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.6.0"}
