What it is and what it does
pyCalverter is a Python library for converting dates between different calendar systems. It was designed to translate dates across calendar formats, likely including Gregorian, Persian, and potentially other calendar types used in different regions and cultures.
The package has been abandoned since 2011 with no active maintenance. It has no runtime dependencies, which simplifies installation, but the lack of updates means it has not been tested against modern Python versions and may contain compatibility issues. The GPL v2 copyleft license requires that any modifications or derivative works also be released under the same license.
Use it for
- Convert Gregorian dates to Persian calendar dates in historical or cultural applications
- Build multi-calendar date pickers for international or region-specific software
- Translate dates between calendar systems in localization or internationalization workflows
- Academic research involving historical calendar systems and date comparisons
