python-holidays
A fast, efficient Python library for generating country, province and state
specific sets of holidays on the fly. It aims to make determining whether a
specific date is a holiday as fast and flexible as possible.

Example Usage
.. code-block:: python
from datetime import date
import holidays
us_holidays = holidays.UnitedStates()
# or:
# us_holidays = holidays.US()
# or:
# us_holidays = holidays.CountryHoliday('US')
# or, for specific prov / states:
# us_holidays = holidays.CountryHoliday('US', prov=None, state='CA')
date(2015, 1, 1) in us_holidays # True
date(2015, 1, 2) in us_holidays # False
# The Holiday class will also recognize strings of any format
# and int/float representing a Unix timestamp
'2014-01-01' in us_holidays # True
'1/1/2014' in us_holidays # True
1388597445 in us_holidays # True
us_holidays.get('2014-01-01') # "New Year's Day"
us_holidays['2014-01-01': '2014-01-03'] # [date(2014, 1, 1)]
us_pr_holidays = holidays.UnitedStates(state='PR') # or holidays.US(...), or holidays.CountryHoliday('US', state='PR')
# some holidays are only present in parts of a country
'2018-01-06' in us_holidays # False
'2018-01-06' in us_pr_holidays # True
# Easily create custom Holiday objects with your own dates instead
# of using the pre-defined countries/states/provinces available
custom_holidays = holidays.HolidayBase()
# Append custom holiday dates by passing:
# 1) a dict with date/name key/value pairs,
custom_holidays.append({"2015-01-01": "New Year's Day"})
# 2) a list of dates (in any format: date, datetime, string, integer),
custom_holidays.append(['2015-07-01', '07/04/2015'])
# 3) a single date item
custom_holidays.append(date(2015, 12, 25))
date(2015, 1, 1) in custom_holidays # True
date(2015, 1, 2) in custom_holidays # False
'12/25/2015' in custom_holidays # True
# For more complex logic like 4th Monday of January, you can inherit the
# HolidayBase class and define your own _populate(year) method. See below
# documentation for examples.
Install
The latest stable version can always be installed or updated via pip:
.. code-block:: bash

API
class holidays.HolidayBase(years=[], expand=True, observed=True, prov=None, state=None)
The base class used to create holiday country classes.
Parameters:
years
An iterable list of integers specifying the years that the Holiday object
should pre-generate. This would generally only be used if setting expand
to False. (Default: [])
expand
A boolean value which specifies whether or not to append holidays in new
years to the holidays object. (Default: True)
observed
A boolean value which when set to True will include the observed day of a
holiday that falls on a weekend, when appropriate. (Default: True)
prov
A string specifying a province that has unique statutory holidays.
(Default: Australia='ACT', Canada='ON', NewZealand=None)
state
A string specifying a state that has unique statutory holidays.
(Default: UnitedStates=None)
Methods:
get(key, default=None)
Returns a string containing the name of the holiday(s) in date key
, which
can be of date, datetime, string, unicode, bytes, integer or float type. If
multiple holidays fall on the same date the names will be separated by
commas
get(key, default=None)
Returns a string containing the name of the holiday(s) in date key
, which
can be of date, datetime, string, unicode, bytes, integer or float type. If
multiple holidays fall on the same date the names will be separated by
commas
get_list(key)
Same as get
except returns a list
of holiday names instead of a comma
separated string
get_named(name)
Returns a list
of holidays matching (even partially) the provided name
(case insensitive check)
pop(key, default=None)
Same as get
except the key is removed from the holiday object
pop_named(name)
Same as pop
but takes the name of the holiday (or part of it) rather than
the date
update/append
Accepts dictionary of {date: name} pairs, a list of dates, or even singular
date/string/timestamp objects and adds them to the list of holidays
More Examples
.. code-block:: python
# Simplest example possible
>>> from datetime import date
>>> import holidays
>>> date(2014, 1, 1) in holidays.US()
True
>>> date(2014, 1, 2) in holidays.US()
False
# But this is not efficient because it is initializing a new Holiday object
# and generating a list of all the holidays in 2014 during each comparison
# It is more efficient to create the object only once
>>> us_holidays = holidays.US()
>>> date(2014, 1, 1) in us_holidays
True
>> date(2014, 1, 2) in us_holidays
False
# Each country has three class names that can be called--a full name
# and the 2 and 3-digit ISO codes. Use whichever you prefer.
>>> holidays.UnitedStates() == holidays.US()
True
>>> holidays.Canada() == holidays.CA()
True
>>> holidays.US() == holidays.CA()
False
# Let's print out the holidays in 2014 specific to California, USA

# The other form of addition is also available
>>> north_america = holidays.Canada()
>>> north_america += holidays.UnitedStates()
>>> north_america += holidays.Mexico()

# Sometimes we may not be able to use the official federal statutory

# Perhaps you just have a list of dates that are holidays and want to turn
