The Calendar widget supports event display with custom colors and tooltips, locale-aware formatting (e.g., 'fr_FR', 'en_US'), and customizable appearance through color and font options. It depends on babel for locale and date formatting.\n\nThe package is production-stable but dormant\u2014no releases since 2019 and no active development. It is suitable for desktop applications that need date selection UI but should not be expected to receive updates for new Python versions or tkinter changes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a Tkinter desktop application and need calendar or date-entry widgets. The package is stable and has low install friction. However, be aware that it is dormant\u2014no active maintenance since 2019\u2014so do not rely on it for bug fixes or compatibility with future Python or tkinter versions. Suitable for legacy or internal tools; less suitable for new production applications that require ongoing support."},"id":"tkcalendar","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tkcalendar","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tkcalendar.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/tkcalendar/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-12-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"tkcalendar","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Calendar and DateEntry widgets for Tkinter"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":147224,"position":11073,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.1"}
