PYTHON3-JULIANDATE(1)

✨ PYTHON3-JULIANDATE ✨

okay bestie, gather round 🫶 this is the python3-juliandate manual page, and it's genuinely so iconic. it lives in section 1 of the User Commands manuals, and it does exactly one thing but it does it so well: it converts Julian days into calendar days. Julian dates in, Julian or Gregorian calendar dates out. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

python3-juliandate — conversion between Julian dates to Julian or Gregorian calendar dates 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

the usage line, verbatim, no notes:

usage: python3-juliandate [-h] [-f FILE] [-j] [-r] [-t] [J ...]

and the one-line summary of what this thing does, which is:

Convert Julian Days to calendar days 🌈

literally it's giving "tiny utility, huge main character energy". periodt.

💖 positional arguments 💖

• J — the Julian days you want converted, bestie. drop them in right there on the command line. 📅

💜 options 💜

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then exits, like a polite little goodbye. no cap, it just tells you what's up and dips. 👋
• -f, --file _FILE_ — read from a file instead of the command line. and listen — if FILE is '-', it reads from stdin instead. yes, the literal dash. iconic behaviour fr fr. 📂
• -j, --julian — converts to a Julian date instead of a Gregorian one. the default is Gregorian, so flip this flag when you want the other one. ⭐
• -r, --round — rounds to a simple day. bye bye fractional days, hello whole numbers. 🔥
• -t, --tabs — separates the output with tabs instead of commas. for when commas simply aren't the moment. 🎀

heads up bestie: the default output separator is a comma, and the default calendar is Gregorian. -t and -j are how you switch those up. 💅

the cute sign-off 💖

this is python3-juliandate version 1.0.5, dated March 2025, and that's the whole page. go convert some Julian days, you absolute legend. mwah. 😘💅✨🦋🌸
