Holidays with Python

With this code you will know the holidays in your country.

First of all, let’s install the module holidays from the python interpreter (you can do it from the cmd too with just pip install holidays).

import os

os.system("pip install holidays")

This are the countries of which you can know the holidays:

‘APR’, ‘AR’, ‘AT’, ‘AU’, ‘AUG’, ‘Argentina’, ‘Australia’, ‘Austria’, ‘BE’, ‘BR’, ‘BY’, ‘Belarus’, ‘Belgium’, ‘Brazil’, ‘CA’, ‘CH’, ‘CO’, ‘CZ’, ‘Canada’, ‘Colombia’, ‘CountryHoliday’, ‘Croatia’, ‘Czech’, ‘DE’, ‘DEC’, ‘DK’, ‘Denmark’, ‘EASTER_ORTHODOX’, ‘ECB’, ‘ES’, ‘England’, ‘EuropeanCentralBank’, ‘FEB’, ‘FI’, ‘FR’, ‘FRA’, ‘FRI’, ‘Finland’, ‘France’, ‘Germany’, ‘HND’, ‘HR’, ‘HU’, ‘HolidayBase’, ‘Honduras’, ‘Hungary’, ‘IE’, ‘IND’, ‘IT’, ‘India’, ‘Ireland’, ‘IsleOfMan’, ‘Italy’, ‘JAN’, ‘JP’, ‘JUL’, ‘JUN’, ‘Japan’, ‘MAR’, ‘MAY’, ‘MO’, ‘MON’, ‘MX’, ‘Mexico’, ‘NL’, ‘NO’, ‘NOV’, ‘NZ’, ‘Netherlands’, ‘NewZealand’, ‘NorthernIreland’, ‘Norway’, ‘OCT’, ‘PL’, ‘PT’, ‘PTE’, ‘Polish’, ‘Portugal’, ‘PortugalExt’, ‘SA’, ‘SAT’, ‘SE’, ‘SEP’, ‘SI’, ‘SK’, ‘SU’, ‘SUN’, ‘Scotland’, ‘Slovak’, ‘Slovenia’, ‘SouthAfrica’, ‘Spain’, ‘Sweden’, ‘Switzerland’, ‘TAR’, ‘TH’, ‘THU’, ‘TU’, ‘TUE’, ‘UA’, ‘UK’, ‘US’, ‘Ukraine’, ‘UnitedKingdom’, ‘UnitedStates’, ‘WE’, ‘WED’, ‘WEEKEND’, ‘Wales’, ‘ZA’
