django-bsdatetime

Django model fields for Bikram Sambat (Nepali) dates built on the bsdatetime core.

Documentation: https://rajendra-katuwal.github.io/bsdatetime.docs/

Install

pip install django-bsdatetime

Installs bsdatetime automatically.

Quick model example

from django.db import models
from django_bsdatetime import BikramSambatDateField

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    birth_date_bs = BikramSambatDateField(null=True, blank=True)

person = Person.objects.create(name="राम बहादुर", birth_date_bs=(2050, 5, 15))
print(person.birth_date_bs)  # (2050, 5, 15)

Data is stored internally as Gregorian; you work with BS tuples.
