""" Copyright (c) 2003-2005 Gustavo Niemeyer <gustavo@niemeyer.net>
This module offers extensions to the standard python 2.3+ datetime module. """
""" This function was ported from the work done by GM Arts, on top of the algorithm by Claus Tondering, which was based in part on the algorithm of Ouding (1940), as quoted in "Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac", P. Kenneth Seidelmann, editor.
This function implements three different easter calculation algorithms:
1 - Original calculation in Julian calendar, valid in dates after 326 AD 2 - Original algorithm, with date converted to Gregorian calendar, valid in years 1583 to 4099 3 - Revised algorithm, in Gregorian calendar, valid in years 1583 to 4099 as well
These algorithms are represented by the constants:
EASTER_JULIAN = 1 EASTER_ORTHODOX = 2 EASTER_WESTERN = 3
The default algorithm is algorithm 3.
More about the algorithm may be found at:

EXAMPLES::
sage: import sage.finance.easter sage: sage.finance.easter.easter(2009, 1) datetime.date(2009, 4, 6) sage: sage.finance.easter.easter(2009, 2) datetime.date(2009, 4, 19) sage: sage.finance.easter.easter(2009, 3) datetime.date(2009, 4, 12) sage: sage.finance.easter.easter(2010, 1) datetime.date(2010, 3, 22) sage: sage.finance.easter.easter(2010, 2) datetime.date(2010, 4, 4) sage: sage.finance.easter.easter(2010, 3) datetime.date(2010, 4, 4)
