I was working on a group project when we came to need Islamic date in Python. I found an extension of Ummalqurra but it does not work on Python 3.7.4, I would like help in this regard from the community to make a complete resource for Hijri Date in Python.
I thought of converting some Java libraries to Python but how??? By all accounts this needs to be done so if anyone has an algorithm to it please show us or a pre-existing library that I have missed in this regard.
'The other related article on Stackoverflow is on that of Iranian Solar Calander while I want the Islamic Hijri Calander.'
hijri-converter
has been deprecated and will not receive future updates. Please use the hijridate
package instead.
If you are using the Anaconda distribution, use conda install -c conda-forge hijridate
, otherwise use pip install hijridate
, as per GitHub: HijriDate
Have a look at the hijri-converter
package, which helps in converting between Hijri and Gregorian dates using the Umm al-Qura calendar.
