# pyCalverter — Python Calendar Converter

License: copyleft · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 87.2K/mo

## 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

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Converts between different calendar systems, allowing date translation across calendar formats such as Gregorian, Persian, and other calendar types.

No. The package is abandoned (last release 2011-06-11) with no maintenance signal, unspecified Python version support, and high install friction from source-only distribution. GPL v2 copyleft also restricts use in proprietary projects. Modern alternatives or custom implementations are strongly recommended.

## Install

pip install pycalverter
uv add pycalverter
poetry add pycalverter

## Installing pyCalverter

Before you install: High install friction due to source distribution only. Package is abandoned—last release was 2011-06-11, over 5543 days ago. No active maintenance or repository activity is available.

License in practice: Licensed under GPL v2 (copyleft). Any derivative work or modification must also be released under GPL v2, and source code must be made available to users.

Quickstart:

pip install pyCalverter
import pycalverter
# Convert date between calendar systems
result = pycalverter.convert(date_value, from_calendar, to_calendar)

Package is abandoned with no recent maintenance. Python version compatibility is unspecified and may not work with modern Python versions.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package actually works with current Python versions (3.10+) given its 2011 last release
- What calendar systems are supported beyond the implied Gregorian and Persian calendars
- Whether the Bitbucket repository still hosts working source code or documentation
