  Description     : Simple conversions between Julian Dates and
   Julian/Gregorian calendar dates, supporting ancient dates (BCE)

A Julian Date such as 2440423.345486 indicates the number of days (and fractional part) since noon January 1, 4713 BCE (Julian) or November 24, 4714 BCE (Gregorian). 2440423 is the number of full days, and the fractional part, 0.345486 indicates that a little more than a third of a day has passed (since noon). This package makes it possible to convert Julian date number to a Gregorian calendar date or a Julian calendar date, and also to convert Gregorian or Julian Calendar Dates to Julian Date numbers.

I am intending to package this during DebConf24 and would like to maintain it within the Debian Python team Salsa namespace.
