Overview
--------

If you aren't familiar with English, can read `Chinese(中文) <https://github.com/wolfhong/LunarCalendar/blob/develop/README_zh.rst>`_ here.

LunarCalendar is a Lunar-Solar Converter, containing a number of lunar and solar holidays in China.

Korean and Japanese lunar calendar is the same as Chinese calendar, but has different holidays.
If `LunarCalendar` is extended, Korean and Japanese holidays are easily included, with their languages.

LunarCalendar supports the time range 1900-2100. But if you have a need for the time range, you can use ``generate.html`` to extend it.

LunarCalendar is inspired by `Lunar-Solar-Calendar-Converter <https://github.com/isee15/Lunar-Solar-Calendar-Converter>`_.

.. code-block:: python

    import datetime
    from lunarcalendar import Converter, Solar, Lunar, DateNotExist

    solar = Solar(2018, 1, 1)
    print(solar)
    lunar = Converter.Solar2Lunar(solar)
    print(lunar)
    solar = Converter.Lunar2Solar(lunar)
    print(solar)
    print(solar.to_date(), type(solar.to_date()))

Lunar to Solar:

.. code-block:: python

    lunar = Lunar(2018, 2, 30, isleap=False)
    print(lunar)
    solar = Converter.Lunar2Solar(lunar)
    print(solar)
    lunar = Converter.Solar2Lunar(solar)
    print(lunar)
    print(lunar.to_date(), type(lunar.to_date()))
    print(Lunar.from_date(datetime.date(2018, 4, 15)))

    for fest in festivals:
        print(fest.get_lang('zh'), fest(2018))

    print("----- print all festivals on 2017 in english: -----")
    for fest in festivals:
