Create a wrapper of the node library

[anroopak]

Python implementation should be a wrapper of the node library. This would help because any change in the Node library can be easily ported to the Python library. If not any change in the Node lib would need changes in the Python repo, and vice versa.

Great suggestion, @anroopak - this is a library that could be helpful in getting this done: https://github.com/aws/jsii

If you have the time (and inclination), please go ahead and start with the implementation. :)

Great, I was looking for this library. Couldn't find, so had started building the library from scratch.
Anyways, I will now build the Python lib with this

@anroopak - I converted the JavaScript implementation into TypeScript and added a pipeline to create Python, dotnet and Java wrappers based on that using aws/jsii - when you get a chance, please check out the python package: https://pypi.org/project/kollavarsham/ 🙂

Here is a small snippet that worked for me:

import datetime
import pytz
import kollavarsham

now = pytz.utc.localize(datetime.datetime.utcnow())
kv = kollavarsham.Kollavarsham(latitude=10, longitude=76.2, system="SuryaSiddhanta")

today = kv.from_gregorian_date(date=now)
print(today.year, today.ml_masa_name, today.date, '(' + today.naksatra.ml_malayalam + ')') # => 1195 കുംഭം 3 (വിശാഖം) 7
