It computes lunar date components, zodiac animals, stems-and-branches (\u5e72\u652f), constellation signs, lucky directions (\u559c\u795e), festival dates, and other astrological properties. The library is written in pure Python with no external dependencies, making it self-contained but requiring compilation from source during installation.\n\nThe package is typically used to display or calculate lunar calendar dates in applications serving Chinese-speaking users, to determine auspicious dates and directions according to traditional practices, or to map between solar and lunar date systems. It supports bidirectional conversion and provides a rich set of computed properties for each date, including festival calendars and traditional fortune-telling attributes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need lunar calendar conversion and astrological properties for a Chinese-language or culturally-aware application. The zero-dependency design and permissive MIT license are strong points. However, the high install friction (source-only distribution) and aging maintenance status (last commit 282 days ago) mean you should verify compatibility with your Python version and build environment before committing.
