from datetime import date
import holidays
us_holidays = holidays.US() # this is a dict
# the below is the same, but takes a string:
us_holidays = holidays.country_holidays('US') # this is a dict
nyse_holidays = holidays.NYSE() # this is a dict
# the below is the same, but takes a string:
nyse_holidays = holidays.financial_holidays('NYSE') # this is a dict
date(2015, 1, 1) in us_holidays # True
date(2015, 1, 2) in us_holidays # False
us_holidays.get('2014-01-01') # "New Year's Day"The HolidayBase dict-like class will also recognize date strings and Unix timestamps:
'2014-01-01' in us_holidays # True
'1/1/2014' in us_holidays # True
1388597445 in us_holidays # TrueSome holidays may be only present in parts of a country:
us_pr_holidays = holidays.country_holidays('US', subdiv='PR')
'2018-01-06' in us_holidays # False
'2018-01-06' in us_pr_holidays # TruePlease see the documentation for additional examples and detailed information.
