This library encapsulates timetable legislation for elections run in the United Kingdom and its devolved administrations.
The election timetable varies based on:
from datetime import date
from uk_election_timetables.elections.uk_parliament import UKParliamentElection
election = UKParliamentElection(date(2019, 2, 21))
print(election.sopn_publish_date) # date(2019, 1, 25)
This project checks daily for additions to the government bank holiday dataset at https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays.json. When an addition is identified in the .gov file, this project will automatically create a GitHub issue to update our local bank holiday dataset.
To update bank-holidays.json
with additions from the government supplied file, run the following within your venv:
python manage_bank_holidays.py --update
