It lets you query whether a specific date is a working day (accounting for weekends and holidays), retrieve lists of holidays for a given year, and perform arithmetic on dates by adding or subtracting working days. The library bundles pre-computed astronomical values for calendars that depend on equinoxes or solar terms (such as Asian calendars) for years 1991\u20132051, with optional support for computing these values dynamically via the astronomy extra.\n\nThe package is built on date utilities (python-dateutil), lunar and solar calendar libraries (lunardate, convertdate, pyluach), and timezone support (tzdata, backports.zoneinfo, importlib-metadata). It covers a broad geographic scope\u2014Europe, the Americas, Asia, Oceania, and Africa\u2014with support for regional and sub-regional calendars (e.g., Swiss cantons, US states, Brazilian cities). The library is marked production-ready but carries a caveat that some calendars may not be 100% accurate, particularly Islamic calendars, and not all countries are yet supported.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need working-day arithmetic or holiday lookups for one or more countries. The package is production-stable, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and covers a wide geographic scope. However, maintenance is dormant (last release January 2023), so be aware that calendar updates may lag behind official changes; verify accuracy for mission-critical use cases against official sources."},"id":"workalendar","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/workalendar","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/workalendar.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/workalendar/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-01-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"workalendar","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Worldwide holidays and working days helper and toolkit."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1467370,"position":3875,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"17.0.0"}
