Missing Semester

Open gregoirer opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

As per quarter it will be nice to have the same for semester (1 or 2). Regards.

How would that be defined?

In my experience each university defines semesters slightly differently.

Is there a standard definition for semesters?

In France, we divide the year in two semester S1 (january to june) and S2 (july to dec) and when I suggest to add this format I didn't figure it can't be differently. But after some research it seems that each country has his own way to group 6 months. so my change request is not relevant and I'm sorry for the noise.

"semester" is a faux-ami; in English it is used in the academic context only and varies in dates, but in French semestre also means a half-year, the equivalent of H1 and H2 in the US. Note that the same discussion happened here https://github.com/moment/moment/pull/1998 :)

Note that I don't see any mention of half-years in python strftime.
