Defining holidays¶
The lino_xl.lib.cal plugin also adds functionality for managing holidays
and birthdays.
Some initialization:
>>> from lino import startup
>>> startup('lino_book.projects.min9.settings')
>>> from lino.api.doctest import *
>>> settings.SITE.verbose_client_info_message = True
>>> from lino.api import rt, _
>>> from atelier.utils import i2d
>>> RecurrentEvent = cal.RecurrentEvent
>>> Recurrences = cal.Recurrences
Recurrent events¶
A series of standard holidays are defined as recurrent events by the std fixture of lino_xl.lib.cal:
>>> rt.show(cal.RecurrentEvents)
============ ========== ============================ ===================== =================================== ==================== =====================
Start date End Date Designation Designation (de) Designation (fr) Recurrence Calendar entry type

Relative to Easter¶
Certain recurrent events are relative to Easter. Let's look at one of them, Ash Wednesday:
>>> ash = RecurrentEvent.objects.get(name="Ash Wednesday")
The std
fixture of lino_xl.lib.cal
generates
automatically all Ash Wednesdays for a range of years:
>>> rt.show(cal.EntriesByController, master_instance=ash, nosummary=True)
================ =================== ================= ===== ================== =====================
When Short description Workflow No. Responsible user Calendar entry type
---------------- ------------------- ----------------- ----- ------------------ ---------------------
Wed 06/03/2019 Ash Wednesday **? Suggested** 7 Holidays
Wed 14/02/2018 Ash Wednesday **? Suggested** 6 Holidays
Wed 01/03/2017 Ash Wednesday **? Suggested** 5 Holidays
Wed 10/02/2016 Ash Wednesday **? Suggested** 4 Holidays
Wed 18/02/2015 Ash Wednesday **? Suggested** 3 Holidays
Wed 05/03/2014 Ash Wednesday **? Suggested** 2 Holidays
================ =================== ================= ===== ================== =====================
Actually the user sees just the summary:
>>> rt.show(cal.EntriesByController, master_instance=ash)
March 2019: *Wed 06.*?
February 2018: *Wed 14.*?
March 2017: *Wed 01.*?
February 2016: *Wed 10.*?
February 2015: *Wed 18.*?
March 2014: *Wed 05.*?
Suggested : 6 , Draft : 0 , Published : 0 , Took place : 0 , Cancelled : 0
That range of years depends on some configuration variables:
ignore_dates_beforeignore_dates_afterlino.modlib.system.SiteConfig.max_auto_events
>>> dd.plugins.cal.ignore_dates_before
>>> dd.plugins.cal.ignore_dates_after
datetime.date(2019, 10, 23)
>>> settings.SITE.site_config.max_auto_events
72
>>> settings.SITE.the_demo_date
datetime.date(2014, 10, 23)
Manually creating moving feasts¶
The recurrency rules for moving feasts have their
every_unit field set to
easter.
Lino then computes the offset (number of days) between your start_date
and the Easter date of the start year, and generates subsequent events by moving
their date so that the offset remains the same.
Lino uses the easter() function of dateutil for getting the Easter date.
>>> from dateutil.easter import easter
>>> easter(2015)
datetime.date(2015, 4, 5)
Adding a local moving feast¶
We can add our own local custom holidays which depend on easter.
We create a recurrency rule for it, specifying easter in their
every_unit
field.
>>> holidays = cal.EventType.objects.get(**dd.str2kw('name', _("Holidays")))
>>> obj = RecurrentEvent(name="Karneval in Kettenis",
... every_unit=Recurrences.easter,
... start_date=i2d(20160209), event_type=holidays)
>>> obj.full_clean()
>>> obj.find_start_date(i2d(20160209))
datetime.date(2016, 2, 9)
>>> set_log_level(logging.DEBUG)
>>> ar = rt.login()
>>> wanted, unwanted = obj.get_wanted_auto_events(ar)
...
Generating events between 2016-02-09 and 2019-10-23 (max. 72).
Reached upper date limit 2019-10-23 for 4
>>> len(wanted)
4
>>> wanted[0]
Event(start_date=2016-02-09,owner_type=...,summary='Karneval in Kettenis',auto_type=1,priority=<xl.Priorities.normal:30>,event_type=2,state=<cal.EntryStates.suggested:10>,notify_unit=<cal.NotifyBeforeUnits.minutes:10>)
