Functions for converting dates to/from JD and MJD
Raw
jdutil.py
"""
Functions for converting dates to/from JD and MJD. Assumes dates are historical
dates, including the transition from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian
calendar in 1582. No support for proleptic Gregorian/Julian calendars.

# Note: The Python datetime module assumes an infinitely valid Gregorian calendar.
# The Gregorian calendar took effect after 10-15-1582 and the dates 10-05 through
# 10-14-1582 never occurred. Python datetime objects will produce incorrect
# time deltas if one date is from before 10-15-1582.
